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 vascularity Optical Imaging studies: Luciferase localization Reporter gene expression MicroCT 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.
