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 کاملMultimodality molecular imaging of tumor angiogenesis.
Molecular imaging is a key component of 21st-century cancer management. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor signaling pathway and integrin alpha v beta 3, a cell adhesion molecule, play pivotal roles in regulating tumor angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. This review summarizes the current status of tumor angiogenesis imaging with SPECT, PET, molecular MRI, ta...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging of Tumor Angiogenesis: Perfusion Modeling for Tumor Angiogenesis
When a tracer, such as Gd-doped or iodinated extracellular contrast, is introduced into the blood stream of a patient its transport through the vascular system, heart and lungs and eventual excretion via the kidneys is a well-established process [1,2]. At the level of the imaging voxel (for example, in the centre of a breast tumor) we can only speculate as to the precise nature of the tracer ki...

متن کاملMultimodality Imaging in Tumor Angiogenesis: Present Status and Perspectives
Angiogenesis is a complex biological process that plays a central role in progression of tumor growth and metastasis. It led to a search for antiangiogenic molecules, and to design antiangiogenic strategies for cancer treatment. Noninvasive molecular imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), could be useful for lesion detection, ...
