Perfusion-like template and standardized normalization-based brain image analysis using 18F-florbetapir (AV-45/Amyvid) PET
Amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) is an important noninvasive method for detecting amyloid burden in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. As amyloid PET images have limited anatomical information, magne...

In vivo imaging of radiation-induced tissue apoptosis by 99mTc(I)-his6-annexin A5
A recombinant annexin A5 with the N-terminal extension of six histidine residues was labeled with 99mTc(I)-tricarbonyl ion to produce the 99mTc-labeled annexin A5, referred to 99mTc(I)-his6-annexin A5. We have ex...
