Psa oxygen molecular sieve is a way of creating a three-dimensional image of processes taking place in the body. A molecule of interest is labelled with a positron emitting isotope. These positrons collide with electrons to emit two photons, or particles of light. A scanner capable of detecting photons and determining the density of positron collisions, and hence the concentration of the target molecule, in a particular area. There are eleven commonly used isotopes, including those of Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Fluorine (the most common isotope in clinical use), Copper (two types of isotope), Iodine, Bromine, Rubidium and Gallium.
Size exclusion chromatography is the method by which scientists determine the molecular size (not the weight!), of a particular substance. Molecules are separated in columns packed with porous substances, which might include glass beads, polystyrene gels, silica gel, etc. Larger molecules elute more quickly through the columns, since the molecules cannot fit into as many spaces. A concentration detector is placed at the bottom of the GPC columns to determine the amount of material of each size fraction. In traditional SEC/GPC systems, operators need to pass known standards through the columns before the sample. By creating a calibration curve of size versus elution time, particle size of unknown samples can be calculated.

In more recent times, addition of other detection techniques such as Static Light Scattering and the Intrinsic Viscosity detector provide direct measurement of molecular weight and size so that traditional calibration techniques are not required.

Gel permeation chromatography

Cork pads for glass is also commonly referred to by other names. When an aqueous solution is used to carry the sample through the column, the technique is often called “Gel Filtration Chromatography”, and the name “Gel Permeation Chromatography” is often used when solvents are used to carry the substance in question through the packed columns.

PET technology enables the detection of minute amounts of substances. Different concentrations of a molecule are revealed to the observer as different colors. It is, unfortunately, extremely costly. This is because most of the probes need to be produced in an on-site cyclotron, a type of particle accelerator.

Briefly, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses the application of a strong magnetic field to alter the magnetization of atoms in the body. Radio frequency fields are used to change the alignment of the magnetization, which causes the atomic nuclei to create a rotating magnetic field that is picked up by the scanner. This technology is capable of producing high resolution images of soft tissues like those in the brain, muscles, heart and tumors. Another advantage of MRI over PET is that it does not rely on radioisotopes. One disadvantage is that it is less sensitive by several orders of magnitude.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) makes it possible to measure blood flow in the brain, or regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). It uses gamma rays. By moving the gamma ray camera around the subject’s head, it is possible to create a three-dimensional image. Because the radioisotopes used in SPECT have longer half-lives than those used in PET, this imaging modality is considered safer than PET.

Oxygen concentrator molecular sieve is another method used for in vivo molecular imaging. There are various methods which use absorption, reflectance, bioluminescence or fluorescence to create contrast. This method has the advantage of fewer safety concerns compared to other techniques.
