“…In addition, blood flow and hypoxia are complex inter-related factors, and imaging both together can provide complementary information to help guide treatment selection, planning, and early response monitoring (Bruehlmeier et al, 2004, Lehtio et al, 2004, Lehtio et al, 2001, Rajendran and Krohn, 2005. PTSM (Flower et al, 2001, Mathias et al, 1994, Mathias et al, 1991 and ATSM (Dehdashti et al, 2003, Fujibayashi et al, 1997, Lewis et al, 1999, Lewis et al, 2001, Takahashi et al, 2000 are chemical analogues. While PTSM distributes in proportion to blood flow and is rapidly reduced and trapped in tissues, ATSM has a lower redox potential and is selectively retained in hypoxic tissues.…”
