Detection of Aspergillus fumigatus pulmonary fungal infections in mice with 99mTc-labeled MORF oligomers targeting ribosomal RNA

In vivo targeting fungal ribosomal RNA with 99mTc labeled MORF probes AGEN and AFUM may be useful for A. fumigatus infection imaging and may provide a new strategy for the noninvasive diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis and other fungal infections.
