Abstract:
... There is a growing need to uncover biomarkers of ionizing radiation exposure that leads to a better understanding of how exposures take place, including dose type, rate, and time since exposure. As one of the first organs to be exposed to external sources of ionizing radiation, skin is uniquely positioned in terms of model systems for radiation exposure study. The simultaneous evolution of both MS ...

Abstract:
... As a versatile quantification and tracking technology, ¹⁹F magnetic resonance imaging (¹⁹F MRI) provides quantitative “hot-spot” images without ionizing radiation, tissue depth limit, and background interference. However, the lack of suitable imaging agents severely hampers its clinical application. First, because the ¹⁹F signals are solely originated from imaging agents, the relatively low sensit ...
