Types of Nuclear Medicine

Independent Imaging

Nuclear medicine is a form of specialty medicine that uses radioactive tracers to evaluate bodily functions and to diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions. Nuclear scans produce images of the body’s anatomy that cannot be obtained as clearly or fully with other imaging techniques.

Research Showing Genomics- and Image-Guided Subtyping Refines Characterization of Alzheimer’s Disease Presented at SNMMI 2023

Imaging Technology

Based on a novel clustering framework using sparse canonical correlation analysis (SCCA), the integrated approach was successful in identifying four subtypes of Alzheimer’s disease and the top genes associated with each, according to the authors of the study, “An SCCA-clustering framework for Alzheimer’s disease subtyping using tau PET and genomics.”

PET reveals patient responses to new Alzheimer’s disease drug

AuntMinnie

Patients with less tau pathology on PET scans may respond better to treatment with the new Alzheimer’s disease drug donanemab, according to an October 25 news report in the journal Practical Neurology. Research suggests that the accumulation of these proteins is a continuous process that starts decades before the onset of symptoms.
