    System evaluation of automated production and inhalation of 15O-labeled gaseous radiopharmaceuticals for the rapid 15O-oxygen PET examinations

    15O-oxygen inhalation PET is unique in its ability to provide fundamental information regarding cerebral hemodynamics and energy metabolism in man. However, the use of 15O-oxygen has been limited in a clinical en...

    Cerebral blood flow and metabolism associated with cerebral microbleeds in small vessel disease

    Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), probably reflecting microangiopathy, have not yet sufficiently been examined in association with cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism. We investigated the relationships between...

    Quantification of myocardial blood flow using 201Tl SPECT and population-based input function

    Thallium-201 (201Tl) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an important tool in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. Absolute quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) has the potential to...
