POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS(from NIH proposal – T. Van Dyke & B. Tsui)

High-resolution pinhole SPECT studies:

• Can do a series of images with a single injection depending upon the length of the half-life of the radionucleotide.

• Locating tumors and bone metastases

microPET studies:

• Locating a large variety of primary tumors and their metastases

POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS (from NIH proposal – T. Van Dyke & B. Tsui)

MRI and MRS studies:• Tumor growth • Changes in tumor vascularityOptical Imaging studies:• Luciferase localization• Reporter gene expressionMicroCT studies:• Tumor growth

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS(from NIH proposal – T. Van Dyke & B. Tsui)

• Use Animal Model systems for refining specific imaging technologies—i.e. technologies to measure blood flow and microvascular permeability within tumors.

• Imaging results compared to histologic analyses can help develop technologies to measure disease progression and then be used to screen development of disease in backgrounds with additional genetic alterations.
