  • Publication number: 20110256055
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and materials involved in using peptide-based compounds in bone marrow imaging. More specifically the invention relates to the use of 99mTc peptide-based compounds as targeting vectors that bind to receptors associated with angiogenesis, in particular integrin receptors, e.g. the ?v?3 integrin receptor. Such contrast agents may thus be used for diagnosis of haemolytic anaemia, myeloproliferative disorders, myelofibrosis, selection of biopsy sites, and early detection of skeletal metastatasis as well as detecting avascular necrosis of the femoral heads.
