Abstract

The association of new methods of labelling with short-lived radio-isotopes and of visualisation “in vivo” of these labelled molecules by emission tomography allows study of the brain metabolism at different levels : fluid movements (cerebral blood-flow), metabolism (oxygen or glucose consumption), blood-brain barrier permeability, metabolism of drugs (receptor ligand interactions). The success of such investigations depends on the simultaneous availability of three technological development : production of the chosen radio-isotope ; the labelling procedure and the detection device.
