First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim at least the following: 1. A method of imaging a bacterial infection in a subject comprising the following steps: administering to the subject a labeled probe selected from the group consisting of: wherein R1 is a radiolabel, wherein the radiolabel is selected from the group consisting of: 18 F, 125 I, 124 I, 131 I, 123 I, 32 Cl, 33 Cl, 34 Cl, 74 Br, 75 Br, 76 Br, 77 Br, and 78 Br; imaging at least a portion of the subject; and detecting the labeled probe, wherein the location of the labeled probe corresponds to bacterial infection. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the labeled probe has one of the following structures: 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the labeled probe is selected from the group consisting of: 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising repeating the steps of claim 1 periodically to monitor the progress of a bacterial infection in the subject. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein monitoring includes monitoring the dimensions of the location corresponding to the bacterial infection.
