¹⁸F-FDG Uptake Rate Is a Biomarker of Eosinophilic Inflammation and Airway Response in Asthma

Abstract

Regional K(i) measured with PET is a noninvasive and highly predictive biomarker of eosinophilic airway inflammation and its functional effects. This method may serve to help in the understanding of allergic inflammation and test the therapeutic effectiveness of novel drugs or treatments.
