Molecular imaging of hypoxia
Journal of nuclear medicine, 2011•Soc Nuclear Med
A wide variety of imaging approaches have been developed in the past few decades for
monitoring tumor oxygenation and hypoxia in vivo. In particular, nuclear medicine has seen
the development of several radiolabeled hypoxia markers and is the preferred method for
imaging of tumor hypoxia. Hypoxia imaging is increasingly being used in the clinical setting
and is progressing from a mere detection method to application in individualization of
chemoradiotherapy.
