...s showing higher metabolism than other areas. "The imager we built is a functional imager. That is, it indicates something about physiology, which can be different from anatomy," he says. To fuel rapid growth, cancer cells use more glucose (sugar) than surrounding cells. In this imaging procedure, a small d...Molecular tailoring of chemotherapy with novel imaging techniques
