18F Radiolabeling of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor anti-cancer drugs for therapeutic outcome studies
(2023)Epidermal growth factor receptor is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity that plays a vital role in the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of normal cells. When mutations in this protein occur, ... -
3D GPU-based image reconstruction algorithm for the application in a clinical organ-targeted PET camera
(2022)Functional medical imaging is unique in its ability to visualize molecular interactions and pathways in the body. Organ-targeted Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique that has emerged to ... -
Amorphous selenium (a-Se) avalanche photodetector for applications in positron emission tomography (PET)
(2011)Although avalanche amorphous selenium (a-Se) is a very promising photoconductor for a variety of imaging applications, it is currently restricted to applications with electron beam readout. This is performed with a vacuum ... -
Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel lysophosphatidic acid receptor-targeting small molecules as therapeutic and diagnostic agents
(2023)Breast cancer has the highest incidence rate of all cancers among Canadian women and accounts for nearly 14% of all cancer-related deaths in Canada. This type of cancer is often detected using medical imaging modalities ... -
Development of an 18F radiolabeling method using solid phase chemistry
(2023)New radiotracers are constantly being developed to expand the clinical applications of positron emission tomography (PET). One of the challenges in the development of PET tracers is the incorporation of a positron emitting ...
