Imaging techniques Flashcards
1
Q
MRI Key Imaging - fMRI
A
fMRI:
- BOLD (Blood Oxygen Dependent Levels):
- deoxyHb paramagnetic
2
Q
PET Key Imaging
A
Fluorine 18
- FDG (Flurodeoxyglucose) –> Glucose Usage
- Flurothymidine and Thymidine Kinase: Upreg in proliferating cells for DNA synthesis
- Iodine 125: used with SPECT imaging for apoptosis Signals
3
Q
MRI Key Imaging: dDNP
A
dDNP: Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation
- 13C pyruvate tracking, LDH levels
4
Q
MRI Key Imaging: Angiognesis and Diffusion Weight MRI
A
Angio-genesis: Gadolinium
Diffusion Weighting MRI: Water and Apparent diffusion Coefficient
5
Q
SPECT imaging: Apoptosis in tumours
A
Annexin V binds to phosphatidylserine
Binds to Technetium-99m also
Combined with positron emitter such as Iodine-125
6
Q
Fluorescent Imaging - Guiding Surgery
A
Ovarian Tumours
Folate A receptor: Folate Conjugated to Fluorescein isothiocynate –> (internalised receptor and ligand)
