PET Imaging of Steroid Hormone Receptor Expression by Louis Allott, Graham Smith, Eric O. Aboagye, Laurence Carroll

“…Currently, biopsy for histologic assessment of SHR expression is routine for breast and prostate cancer; however, the technique is not well suited to the heterogeneous tumor environment and can lead to incorrect receptor expression assignment, which precludes effective treatment. The development of positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands to image receptor expression may overcome the difficulties associated with tumor heterogeneity and facilitate the assessment of metastatic disease.…”

The Antineutrino Energy Structure in Reactor Experiments by Pau Novella

“…The reactor experiments Daya Bay, Double Chooz, and RENO have reported a consistent excess of antineutrinos deviating from the flux predictions, with a local significance of about 4σ between 4 and 6 MeV of the positron energy spectrum. The possible causes of the structure are analyzed in this work, along with the different experimental approaches developed to identify its origin. …”

Cherenkov radiation energy transfer from [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose to subphthalocyanine fluorophores by Lioret, Vivian, Decréau, Richard A.

“…Cherenkov radiation (CR) is an optical light that is emitted during the decay of beta-particle-emitting radionuclides, such as 18F, which is present in [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose, a well-known tracer used in positron emission tomography. The CR emission occurs from relaxation of molecules of the dielectric medium surrounding the emitted beta-particle. …”
