Positron emission tomography imaging of neuroinflammation in Multiple Sclerosis with a second generation translocator protein PET radioligand
2015-01-01
Abstract excerpt
This thesis describes a new approach for molecular imaging of neuroinflammation in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). My aim was to use the 2nd generation TSPO radioligand 18F-PBR111 to explore the potential of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) targeting the 18-kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO), as an in vivo biomarker of activated microglia in MS patients. This thesis addresses three research objectives. First, I characteri...
