Pulmonary fibrosis is scarring in the lungs caused by drug toxicity, environmental or genetic reasons, radiation, or unknown etiology (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). Overexpression of type I collagen is a hallmark sign. With funding from the NIH, Dr. Caravan invented a positron emission tomography (PET) probe, called 68Ga-CBP8, that binds to...
The Mass General team is now designing a clinical study funded by the American Thoracic Society examining whether 68Ga-CBP8 PET can measure the response to treatment for lung fibrosis. The clinical trial, to be performed at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, involves administering the probe intravenously before a PET scan. Are...
The team is excited about the probe's ability to fill a gap in the management of lung fibrosis. "This tool has wonderful features that meet a clinical need. Current treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are shown to work on the population level, but we don't know on an individual level how well a patient is responding to treatment," Dr. Mont...
"The overarching goal of our work is to bring this technology to other diseases as well," Dr. Caravan says. "It can be used in any condition with increased collagen. We can use the same probe and just point the camera at a different part of the body." Examples of such conditions include: 1. Cardiomyopathy 2. Cirrhosis 3. Crohn's disease 4. Desmopla...

Mar 18, 2010 · Dr. Caravan's mouthpieces respond VERY well on modern instruments. For a Yamaha Custom Z, the large chamber mouthpiece will do just fine, as I know a number of people who utilize that combination to great success. Be sure not to use reeds that are too hard, as that is a common mistake which causes the sound to lose vibrancy and become very dull.
