PET Scans Reveal ‘smoldering’ Inflammation in patients with Multiple sclerosis

Imaging Technology

The findings were published in Clinical Nuclear Medicine. The newly published study involved performing PET scans on 22 people with MS and eight healthy controls. Those being treated with low-efficacy treatments had more abnormalities on their PET scans, suggesting more microglial cell activation.

Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approvals of radiopharmaceuticals for neuroendocrine tumors and then for prostate cancer, theranostics has picked up momentum in clinical practice, propelled by encouraging research. After binding to the receptor, the drug works by entering the cell allowing radiation to cause damage to the tumor cells.
