Description for Imaging of Hypoxia
Hardback. Hypoxia, insufficient availability of oxygen within the tissue, is a more serious problem than realized in clinical routine work, although a large variety of theoretical and experimental data give proven indications. This book addresses those who are involved in research in radiochemistry and radiopharmacy. Editor(s): Machulla, Hans-Jurgen. Series: Developments in Nuclear Medicine. Num Pages: 180 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJD; MMN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 12. Weight in Grams: 1030.
Hypoxia, i.e. insufficient availability of oxygen within the tissue, is a more serious problem than realized in clinical routine work, although a large variety of theoretical and experimental data give clearly proven indications. During incidences and progress of many types of diseases hypoxia may enhance development and progress of the disease and, furthermore, decrease chances of efficient treatment of, e.g., tumors. Hypoxic tumor cells are up to three times more resistant towards radiation therapy than normoxic cells. With a diagnostic tool such as provided by hypoxia tracers suitable for PET and ... Read more

Reviews for Imaging of Hypoxia
`Overall, this text provides a summary of the status of radionuclide imaging of hypoxia. The material is clearly prestented, well referenced and authoritative. The text is concise, and should serve as a reference for investigators interested in pursuing work in this field.' European Journal of Nuclear Medicine 28:5,(2001)
