Journal ArticleDOI
Tomographic measurement of local cerebral glucose metabolic rate in humans with (F-18)2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose: validation of method.

TL;DR: The data indicate that cerebral FDG‐6‐PO4 in humans increases for about 90 minutes, plateaus, and then slowly decreases, and that cerebral blood FDG activity levels were found to be a minor fraction of tissue activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positron emission tomography study of human brain functional development.
TL;DR: The determination of changing metabolic patterns accompanying normal brain development is a necessary prelude to the study of abnormal brain development with positron emission tomography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of prefrontal cortex glucose metabolism common to three types of depression.
Lewis R. Baxter,Jeffrey M. Schwartz,Michael E. Phelps,John C. Mazziotta,Barry H. Guze,Carl Selin,Robert H. Gerner,Ron M. Sumida +7 more
TL;DR: Using positron emission tomography, cerebral glucose metabolism in drug-free, age- and sex-matched, right-handed patients with unipolar depression, bipolar depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with secondary depression, OCD without major depression, and normal controls is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversibility of Cardiac Wall-Motion Abnormalities Predicted by Positron Tomography
Jan H. Tillisch,Richard C. Brunken,Robert C. Marshall,Markus Schwaiger,M. Mandelkern,Michael E. Phelps,Heinrich R. Schelbert +6 more
TL;DR: PET imaging with 13NH3 to assess blood flow and 18FDG to assess the metabolic viability of the myocardium is an accurate method of predicting potential reversibility of wall-motion abnormalities after surgical revascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation in positron emission computed tomography: 1. Effect of object size.
TL;DR: The effect of object size on the capability of positron emission computed tomography to measure isotope concentrations in a cross section was studied and measurements were found to be in good agreement with theoretical predictions for ideal systems of comparable resolution.
