RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
NUCLEAR MEDICINE
The Nuclear Medicine Department (NMD) provides traditional
nuclear medicine clinical tests (approximately 4,500 per year) for all NIH
patients enrolled in active studies. The NMD is equipped with six single-photon
emission computerized tomography (SPECT) gamma cameras, interfaced to modern
computer systems that are used to process and display patient studies. All
images are centrally stored and can be accessed by investigators. The
laboratories include instrumentation development, radiolabeling of proteins and
peptides, and molecular biology facilities.
Research Opportunities:
- Molecular imaging
- Biodistribution studies of radiolabeled antibody
fragments
- Comparative PET and SPECT imaging studies in several
cancers, including colon, breast, and endocrine tumors.
- New methods of computer analysis to extract information from
experimental and conventional imaging techniques
- Radioantibody therapy trials
