Title: (NMR and PET imaging)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6704580

The purpose of the Sigrid Juselium Symposium was to address the fundamental chemical and biological principles common to NMR and PET imaging. Presentations addressed NMR imaging and the problems in contrast agent development and the fundamental differences and strengths of PET and NMR in medical research and clinical practice. New developments on radiotracers from the standpoint of synthesis and in vivo study were presented including metabolic tracers, labeled antibodies and labeled receptor active compounds and drugs. Pitfalls in data analysis and interpretation were also covered. The Nordic Synposium specifically addressed the application of PET to problems in a cardiology and included descriptions of PET studies as well as the basic biochemistry which takes place in the normal and diseased myocardium. All lectures at both meetings were by invitation.
