On the top left is a photograph of a human prostate tumor implanted in the skin tissue in a dorsal window chamber on an SCID mouse. The tumor cell line was transfected with green fluorescent protein (GFP). On the bottom left is the fluorescence image of the same cancerous tissue produced by a conventional fluorescence microscope. On the right are the positron images of the 18F-FDG uptake distribution in the same tissue produced at 4 different exposure times. The location of the tumor is indicated by a red arrow in each photograph or image.
