PET Imaging of lntegrin Expression with Suitably Labeled RGD Peptides for Multiple Diagnostic Purposes
This technology includes a number of dimeric RGD peptides which been developed and labeled with various PET isotopes (1BF, 68Ga, and 64Cu) for imaging integrin expression in cancer, inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, myocardial infarct, stroke and traumatic injury. A number of these peptides have been translated into clinic for diagnosis and therapy response monitoring.
