Quantification of immuno-PET imaging in cancer

Over the past few decades, immuno-PET has demonstrated its value by enabling both visual and quantitative investigations of the immune system in vivo (1). In the development of monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapy, immuno-PET helps answering important questions related to 1) the pharmacokinetics of the drug or molecule

Quantification of P-glycoprotein function using [18F]MC225 PET – Copy

P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, plays a vital role in drug distribution, barrier function, and disease mechanisms. It is highly expressed at biological interfaces such as the blood-brain barrier (BBB), gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys, where it actively effluxes xenobiotics and therapeutic agents, thereby affecting drug efficacy and resistance.

Grote verhuizingen

Een blik op de actualiteit toont ons dat de wereld in brand staat en dat de tijd van grote verhuizingen aangebroken lijkt. Binnen de wereldorde, op regionale schaal, zelfs de heilige stoel blijft niet gespaard. Van veel verhuizingen is nog ongewis welke kant ze op zullen gaan. Wordt Pakistan India of andersom?

Innovative image reconstruction for extremely low-dose PET/CT imaging

Charalampos Tsoumpas is a full professor on Quantification in Molecular Diagnostics and Radionuclide Therapy at the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging of UMCG. He studied Physics (BSc, 2002) at the National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Biomedical Engineering (MSc, 2004) at the National Technical University of Athens. In 2008, he received his PhD for his research on direct parametric image reconstruction from Imperial College London. He has been active in several domains of clinical medicine and research. Recently, he received a prestigious NWO VICI award by NWO TTW, to work towards innovative approaches for ultralow dose PET/CT imaging. VICI is one of the largest scientific grants in the Netherlands and enables advanced researchers to set up their own innovative research line.
