Book excerpt: Reports observations and findings using PET, SPECT, and other imaging technologies to identify tissue that is not getting sufficient oxygen, which can enhance the development and progress of disease and increase the resistance of tumors to radiation therapy. Nine papers from a workshop in Tubingen-Buhl, Germany in 1995 consider such aspects as the biology of technetium-based hypoxic tissue localizing compounds, molecular design approaches of hypoxia tracers, pre-clinical and clinical studies of quantifying hypoxia with radiolabeled fluoromisonidazole, and evaluating hypoxia in diabetes.
