Zusammenfassung
Aim: To establish an in-vivo assay which could quantitatively detect changes in bone metabolism. Such an imaging tool would also be useful in monitoring efficacy of new therapies in bone metastases. Material und Methods: Osteosense750 (Perkin Elmer), a fluorescent bisphosphonate, was injected into overectomized (OVX) mice (bone loss) and following parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment (bone gain). The fluorescent signal at the knee region of the hind legs and the spine was collected using an optical imaging device (FMT2500LX, Perkin Elmer). Parallel micro-CT scans (vivaCT40, Scanco Medical) were performed to confi…
