PET imaging of lung inflammation with [18F]FEDAC, a radioligand for translocator protein (18 kDa).

PET imaging of lung inflammation with [18F]FEDAC, a radioligand for translocator protein (18 kDa).

PURPOSE: The translocator protein (18 kDa) (TSPO) is highly expressed on the bronchial and bronchiole epithelium, submucosal glands in intrapulmonary bronchi, pneumocytes and alveolar macrophages in human lung. This study aimed to perform positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of lung inflammati...
