Preferred Label : Copper Cu 61-ATSM;
NCIt definition : A lipophilic copper(II)bis(thiosemicarbazone) labeled with the positron-emitting isotope
(61)Cu with hypoxia-selective and radioisotopic activities. With a high membrane permeability
and redox potential, (61)Cu-ATSM easily enters and selectively resides in hypoxic
cells. The extent of (61)Cu-ATSM retention in tissue is inversely related to the state
of tissue oxygenation allowing the quantitation of tissue hypoxia with positron emission
tomography (PET).;
