Nakatani K, Watabe T, Masuda D, Imaizumi M, Shimosegawa E, Kobayashi T, et al.
Metabolism . 2015 Jul; 64(9):1165-74. PMID: 26130608
Aims: CD36 is an important transporter of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in the myocardium. As we have reported previously, CD36-deficient patients demonstrate a marked reduction in myocardial uptake of (123)I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-(R,...

Nucl Med Biol . 2014 May; 41(6):524-35. PMID: 24793011
Introduction: A radioligand for measuring the density of corticotropin-releasing factor subtype-1 receptors (CRF1 receptors) in living animal and human brain with positron emission tomography (PET) would be a useful tool...

Ann Nucl Med . 2014 Feb; 28(4):322-8. PMID: 24488705
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the lesion frequency and incremental added benefit with "true whole-body" (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) of distal lower extremities....

Ann Nucl Med . 2012 Feb; 26(5):444-9. PMID: 22359223
Objective: We recently developed an integrated positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (iPET/MRI) scanner for small animals, which had relatively large field-of-view (FOV) covering up to the size of...

Yamamoto S, Watabe T, Watabe H, Aoki M, Sugiyama E, Imaizumi M, et al.
Phys Med Biol . 2011 Dec; 57(2):N1-13. PMID: 22170810
The silicon photomultiplier (Si-PM) is a promising photo-detector for PET for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems because it has high gain and is insensitive to static magnetic fields....

Yamamoto S, Watabe H, Kanai Y, Imaizumi M, Watabe T, Shimosegawa E, et al.
Phys Med Biol . 2011 Nov; 56(23):7555-67. PMID: 22080091
A silicon photomultiplier (Si-PM) is a promising photodetector for PET, especially for PET/MRI combined systems, due to its high gain, small size, and lower sensitivity to static magnetic fields. However,...

Yamamoto S, Watabe H, Kanai Y, Watabe T, Imaizumi M, Shimosegawa E, et al.
Radiol Phys Technol . 2011 Oct; 5(1):59-62. PMID: 21987349
In quantitative measurements of small animal PET studies, blood sampling is limited due to the small amounts of blood such animals can provide. In addition, injection doses are quite limited....

Yamamoto S, Watabe H, Kanai Y, Aoki M, Sugiyama E, Watabe T, et al.
Phys Med Biol . 2011 Jun; 56(13):4147-59. PMID: 21693791
The silicon-photomultiplier (Si-PM) is a promising photodetector, especially for integrated PET/MRI systems, due to its small size, high gain, and low sensitivity to static magnetic fields. The major problem using...

Phys Med Biol . 2011 Apr; 56(9):2873-82. PMID: 21478571
The silicon-photomultiplier (Si-PM) is a promising photodetector for the development of new PET systems due to its small size, high gain and relatively low sensitivity to the static magnetic field....

Dickstein L, Zoghbi S, Fujimura Y, Imaizumi M, Zhang Y, Pike V, et al.
Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging . 2010 Nov; 38(2):352-7. PMID: 21085954
Purpose: Translocator protein (TSPO) is a promising biomarker for neuroinflammation. We developed two new PET ligands, (18)F-PBR06 and (11)C-PBR28, to image TSPOs. Although our prior studies suggest that either of...
