Translocator Protein Targeted Molecular Imaging in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
2026-05-19
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background: Targeted molecular imaging utilizing positron emission tomography (PET) technology may provide a non-invasive biomarker in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Translocator protein (TSPO, 18kDa), a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, is upregulated in persistent injury and inflammation. Hence, we evaluated the TSPO-targeting PET tracer [ <sup>18</sup> F]DPA-714, to de...
