Optimization of 2-DEOXY-2-[18F] FLUORO-D-GLUCOSE positron emission tomography thorax imaging of laboratory small animals

[Abstract] AMI Annual Conference 2005, March 18-23, Orlando, FloridaThe search of oncologic lesions in thorax may be hindered by the high uptake of organs such as the heart or back muscles that prevent the proper visualization of neighbor organs. The aim of this study is to analyze to what extent glucose metabolism can be modulated to obtain an optimal thorax image in micePublicad
