The aims of this study were (a). to compare absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) during adenosine triphosphate (ATP) infusion with that after dipyridamole administration without caffeine… (More)
OBJECTIVES
The present study was designed to compare the absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) after intravenous dipyridamole infusion with that during dobutamine-atropine administration in normal… (More)
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for thallium-201 myocardial imaging with a rotating gamma camera was evaluated in comparison with planar imaging and seven-pinhole tomography (7P).… (More)

We describe a newly developed ultra-high resolution SPECT system using four pinhole collimators for small animal studies.
METHODS
The system utilizes a clinical four-head SPECT scanner… (More)
This study was performed to investigate the feasibility of FDG- and L-[methyl-11C]methionine (Met)-PET for the follow up of lung cancer after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). Nine patients (pt) with… (More)
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is highly expressed in tumor cells and plays an important role in tumor metastasis. The aim of this study was to develop a radiopharmaceutical for the imaging of… (More)
Cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (CMRO(2)) and cerebral oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) are some of the most fundamental parameters to characterize the pathophysiologic status of cerebral tissue.… (More)
