LIP expansion is detectable in an orthotopic glioma model with F-18 TRX.

Caption

LIP expansion is detectable in an orthotopic glioma model with 18F-TRX. A. 18FTRX PET/CT data showing radiotracer uptake in a U87 MG tumor (arrow) implanted within the right hemisphere of a mouse brain. The image was acquired at 90 min post injection. B. Quantification of 18F-TRX uptake using region of interest analysis of the PET data from mice bearing U87 MG tumors (n = 3). The tumor uptake was compared to uninvolved normal white matter on the contralateral region of the brain. C. Digital autoradiography showing the distribution of the radiotracer within a coronal section of the mouse brain. The tissue was stained with H&E and merged with the pseudocolor image of the autoradiography.
