F-18 FDG-PET is an established approach for diagnosing inflammation based on its ability to visualize increased cellular glucose metabolism, and the researchers hypothesized that it could be useful in patients with neurosarcoidosis. In all three cases, gadolinium-enhanced MRI scans did not show abnormalities.

PET scans show that individuals with mothers with a history of memory impairment had higher levels of brain-amyloid plaque associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), according to a study published June 17 in JAMA Neurology. Data included participant-reported parental history and baseline F-18 florbetapir ( Amyvid ) PET scans.

Reimbursement barriers Unfortunately, until recently, there were significant barriers to receiving amyloid PET imaging in some regions. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), for example, did not cover amyloid PET scans outside of clinical trials for Medicare beneficiaries and only covered one scan per patient’s lifetime.

FAPI-PET imaging could emerge as a new tool for assessing patients with single pulmonary tumors, especially in those with negative results on other scans, according to a study published April 11 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. FAPI-PET either confirmed or ruled out the disease in all cases, the group found. “Our
