Preferred Label : Fluorine F 18 RD2;
NCIt synonyms : 18F RD2; 18F-RD2; 18F-labeled RD2;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of the amyloid-beta-binding peptide RD2 labeled with the
radionuclide fluorine F 18, with potential amyloid-beta peptide imaging activity upon
positron emission topography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). Upon administration of
fluorine F 18 RD2, RD2 targets and binds to amyloid-beta. Upon PET/CT imaging, amyloid-beta
plaques can be visualized and detected. Amyloid-beta is a key component in plaque
formation in Alzheimer's disease. Elevated plasma levels of amyloid-beta are also
associated with some cancers.;
