Radioimmunoimaging of liver metastases with PET using a 64Cu-labeled CEA antibody in transgenic mice.

<h4>Purpose</h4>Colorectal cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, and the development of novel tools for detection and efficient treatment of metastases is needed. One promising approach is the use of radiolabeled antibodies for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and r...

One promising approach is the use of radiolabeled antibodies for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and radioimmunotherapy.

After metastases were detected, PET/MRI scans were performed with (64)Cu-DOTA-labeled M5A antibodies.
