Biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and microSPECT/CT imaging of 188Re-bMEDA-liposome in a C26 murine colon carcinoma solid tumor animal model.

Nanoliposomes are useful carriers in drug delivery. Radiolabeled nanoliposomes have potential applications in radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging. In this study, the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of 188Re-BMEDA-labelled pegylated liposomes (RBLPL) and unencapsulated 188Re-BMEDA administered by the i.

Longitudinal evaluation of tumor metastasis by an FDG-microPet/microCT dual-imaging modality in a lung carcinoma-bearing mouse model.

Background: Histological methods are used to define the growth and response to various treatments of lung carcinoma in mice. The aim of the study was to evaluate a quantitative and 3D-tomographic microPET/microCT dual-image modality using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to monitor the tumor progression in an experimental metastasis mouse model.

Materials And Methods: Six normal mice were subjected to FDG-microPET/microCT image scan to present the normal thorax morphology.
