Multimodality Imaging of Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is an important biological process that is also related to various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Currently, the need for angiogenesis imaging is increasing due to the use of anti-angiogenic therapy to treat tumors, and of angiogenesis-inducing therapy to treat vascular diseases. Several techniques can be used to visualize angiogenesis related...
متن کاملImaging tumour angiogenesis
The development of neovasculature via angiogenesis is a vital component of many normal physiological processes and a number of disease states. Neovascularisation is critical for the growth of malignant tumours and for the development and survival of metastases. Recently, the potential of non-invasive imaging for the functional characterisation of neovasculature has become realised. In this revi...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of Tumor Angiogenesis
Molecular imaging has recently been defined by the Society of Nuclear Medicine as ‘the visualization, characterization, and measurement of biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels in humans and other living systems’ (Mankoff 2007). It usually exploits specific labeled molecular probes, as well as intrinsic tissue characteristics as the source of image contrast, and uses a numbe...
متن کاملRadionuclide imaging of tumor angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis is a multistep process regulated by pro- and antiangiogenic factors. In order to grow and metastasize, tumors need a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients. For growth beyond 1-2 mm in size, tumors are dependent on angiogenesis. Inhibition of angiogenesis is a new cancer treatment strategy that is now widely investigated clinically. Researchers have begun to search for objective m...
