讲座摘要:Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful molecular imaging technique with unparalleled specificity. The specificity of PET imaging derives from PET radiochemistry. The availability of specific PET radiotracers is essential to the realization of the full power of PET imaging. PET radiotracers are biologically active molecules labeled with positron-emitting radionuclide. They interact with specific proteins, enzymes, and biochemical processes in vivo. Information gleaned from these interactions through PET imaging makes it possible to probe the physiology, pharmacology, and the state of biochemical processes in the living system. This presentation will illustrate the applications of PET imaging to probe the molecular basis of disease pathophysiology, which in turn can be used to guide drug development, optimize treatment strategies, and monitor the
