Molecular imaging, particularly of central nervous system processes and cancer
Central nervous system imaging:
(a) using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to uncover brain metabolic correlates of AIDS dementia
(b) using positron emission tomography (PET) to study molecular (neurotransmitter) and cellular abnormalities in patients with AIDS dementia
(c) the development of new radiopharmaceuticals for imaging nicotinic and glutamatergic neurotransmission
In oncology:
(a) advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, such as sodium imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and MRS are being used to study brain tumors
