Antibody fragments expand what PET imaging can ‘see’ in mice (video)

Antibody fragments expand what PET imaging can ‘see’ in mice (video) – American Chemical Society

To visualize cancer throughout the body, physicians often turn to positron emission tomography (PET), which lights up areas that are metabolically active or growing, like tumors. Today in ACS Central Science, researchers report development of new PET probes composed of labeled antibody fragments that were tested in mice. These probes could someday be used to create targeted probes, giving doctors more information about tumors and how to treat them. {read more here}
