Image Quality

A mini Derenzo phantom filled with radionuclides imaged on a microPET- Focus scanner (Siemens Medical Systems). It is important to note that although this degradation is noted with small animal PET scanners with high resolution (1- 2 mm), this degradation is often not seen with clinical scanners with 4-5 mm resolution. New reconstruction algorithms can also be used to enhance image quality. Images are courtesy of Dr. Richard Laforest, Washington University School of Medicine

Clinical Applications
Na124I has been used for the diagnosis of thyroid disease and for evaluating the spread of metastatic thyroid carcinoma. (Eschmann et al., Eur J
Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2002;29:760-67; Freudenberg et al., Eur Radiology 2003;13:L19-L23)

One study reported the distribution of 124I in 64 patients with a variety of thyroid conditions (Frey P,
et l., J Clin Endocrin Metab. 1986;63:918-27)

A number of small molecules have been labeled with 124I as analogs of 131I compounds; e.g., 131/124I-mIBG. (Ott RJ, et al.,Br J Radiol. 1992;65:787-91)

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

Clinical Applications
is a specific marker substrate for gene expression of HSV-1-tk. Used to identify the location, magnitude, and extent of vectormediated HSV-1-tk gene expression in a phase I/II clinical trial of gene therapy for recurrent glioblastoma in five patients. (Jacobs A, et al., Lancet
Oncology. 2001;358:729-29)
124I-FIAU

has been used to measure the proliferative activity of tumors in 20 patients with brain tumors, including meningiomas and gliomas. (Blasberg RG, et al. Cancer Research. 2000;60:624-35)
