4-Methacryloyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolanes substituted at the 2 position with perfume and herbicide aldehyde residues were synthesized either by acetalization or by transacetalization involving 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate. The effect of the 2-substituent of the dioxolane ring on the rate of hydrolysis was remarkable.
We have developed an electron-tracking Compton camera (ETCC) for medical use. Our ETCC has a wide energy dynamic range (200-1300 keV) and wide field of view (3 steradian), and thus has potential for advanced medical use. To evaluate the ETCC, we imaged the head (brain) and bladder of mice that had been administered with F-18-FDG. We also imaged the head and thyroid gland of mice using double tracers of F-18-FDG and I-131 ion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
