11C-Metomidate PET-CT versus adrenal vein sampling to subtype primary aldosteronism: a prospective clinical trial.

Objective: Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is recommended to subtype primary aldosteronism, but it is technically challenging. We compared 11C-Metomidate-PET-computed tomography (PET-CT) and AVS for subtyping of primary aldosteronism.

Methods: Patients with confirmed primary aldosteronism underwent both AVS and 11C-Metomidate PET-CT (post-dexamethasone).

An Improved Synthesis of N-(4-[F]Fluorobenzoyl)-Interleukin-2 for the Preclinical PET Imaging of Tumour-Infiltrating T-cells in CT26 and MC38 Colon Cancer Models.

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of activated T-cells with -(4-[F]fluorobenzoyl)-interleukin-2 ([F]FB-IL-2) may be a promising tool for patient management to aid in the assessment of clinical responses to immune therapeutics. Unfortunately, existing radiosynthetic methods are very low yielding due to complex and time-consuming chemical processes. Herein, we report an improved method for the synthesis of [F]FB-IL-2, which reduces synthesis time and improves radiochemical yield.
