Finally, the control precision can be as good as the imaging resolution.
Pfizer has made Nissen's IVUS a linchpin in clinical trials for torcetrapib, an experimental drug that raises "good" cholesterol; the imaging could help it get the drug approved by 2007, years ahead of full-fledged proof that the drug actually saves lives.
The device later merges conventional scans with EDI OCT scans into a single comprehensive image with good sensitivity throughout the imaging process [[19]].
These results are in very good agreement with the imaging data-specified volume shrinkage of 73%.
Examples of bioluminescence, ultrasound and MRI imaging of a developing xenograft tumor are shown in Figure 5. Importantly, both TH-MYCN and xenograft tumor volumes showed good agreement between the imaging methodologies (Figures 4 and 5).
Our results suggest that [C]CB184 could be a good alternative for the imaging of TSPO overexpression in neuroinflammatory processes, and further evaluation in humans is warranted.
The Spectralis (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) incorporating software, with its enhanced depth imaging (EDI) technology allows for the good quality imaging of the choroid, permitting the qualitative and quantitative analysis of this layer [ 7].
This head-to-head PET tracer comparison study in mice indicated the good imaging properties of [18F]FIBT, such as high initial brain uptake, fast clearance of the brain, and high binding affinity towards Aβ as directly compared to the established amyloid tracers.
Because of the good imaging quality and easy preparation, Cu-cyclam-RAFT-c -RGDfK- 4 is a promising PET traCu-cyclam-RAFT-c -RGDfK- 4 imaging.
From Fig. 4, it can be seen that the tube itself oscillates with the fiber striking the wires and the movements of the fiber near the wires do not have very good linearity, which may affect the imaging.
