Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to establish a novel in vivo Cherenkov imaging methods for evaluating the effect of internal radiation therapy. Anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody was labeled with Cu-64 and Y-90, and in vivo Cherenkov imaging was performed in tumor-bearing mice. In vivo biodistribution of radioactivity was detected by Cherenkov imaging for both probes, but for tumor imaging, antibody labeled with Y-90, which has long half-life compared to Cu-64, clearly visualized tumor tissues. Signal intensity in each tissue was correlated with in vivo biodistribution of radioactivity, therefore, Cherenkov imaging has a potential for predicting biodistribution of 90Y-labeled antibody for evaluating the effect of internal radiation therapy.
