α-[¹¹C]-methyl-L-tryptophan PET for tracer localization of epileptogenic brain regions: clinical studies.

Biomark. Med. 5(5) , 577-84, (2011)

Of several molecular probes used in PET, only α-[(11)C]-methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT) is able to pinpoint the epileptic focus itself in the interictal state, by revealing a focus of increased AMT uptake, ...

α-methyl-L-tryptophan: mechanisms for tracer localization of epileptogenic brain regions.

Biomark. Med. 5(5) , 567-75, (2011)

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the mechanisms of α-[(11)C]methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT) PET as an in vivo biomarker for detection of epileptogenic cortex. AMT was originally designed as a tracer ...
