Determination of specific and non-specific binding of 18F-FP-DTBZ in whole pancreas homogenates obtained from controls and patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes

In the past we identified Vesicular Monoamine Transporter Type 2 (VMAT2), as a biomarker of beta cell mass that is quantifiable in vivo by Positron Emission Tomography (PET). PET is a tomographic imaging technique providing accurate non-invasive dynamic measurements of regional PET tracer uptake and clearance. These measurements are used to calculate VMAT2 density in […]
