PURPOSE
To describe and evaluate a method of tomosynthesis breast imaging with a full-field digital mammographic system.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this tomosynthesis method, low-radiation-dose… (More)
Human studies of dopamine D2/D3 receptors using 18F-fallypride-PET in normal volunteers were performed to evaluate brain distribution in striatal and extrastriatal regions, evaluate metabolites in… (More)
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) offers MRI measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in vivo, and may offer clinical diagnostic utility in populations such as those with early Alzheimer's disease (AD).… (More)
We have used the high-affinity dopamine D-2 receptor radioligand, 18F-fallypride for evaluating receptor occupancy by the antipsychotic drugs, clozapine, risperidone, and haloperidol in rodents and… (More)
IMPORTANCE
Converging evidence suggests that Alzheimer disease (AD) involves insulin signaling impairment. Patients with AD and individuals at risk for AD show reduced glucose metabolism, as indexed… (More)
HighlY constrained backPRojection (HYPR) is a promising image-processing strategy with widespread application in time-resolved MRI that is also well suited for PET applications requiring time series… (More)
INTRODUCTION
In Down syndrome (DS), the overproduction of amyloid precursor protein is hypothesized to predispose young adults to early expression of Alzheimer-like neuropathology.
METHODS
PET… (More)
INTRODUCTION
Biomarkers are urgently needed for the critical yet understudied preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
METHODS
CSF collection, [C-11]PiB amyloid imaging, and MRI were acquired… (More)
BACKGROUND
To determine the effects in adult offspring of maternal exposure to stress and alcohol during pregnancy, we imaged striatal and midbrain dopamine transporter (DAT) binding by positron… (More)
BACKGROUND
Abnormalities in the dopaminergic system are implicated in schizophrenia. [F-18]fallypride is a highly selective, high affinity PET ligand well suited for measuring D2/D3 receptor… (More)
