Positron emission tomography in the study of cerebral tumours

Neurosurgical Review
D G ThomasD J Brooks

Abstract

Positron emission tomography (PET) uses the shortlived positron-emitting radioisotopes of elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon as tracers both to image and to measure, non-invasively, normal regional tissue physiology and pathophysiology in man. This technique has been used to study the pathophysiology of brain tumours at the time they present and after therapeutic intervention.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
