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

Imaging Technology

Microglia are immune cells in the brain that are thought to have a role in MS disease progression but cannot be seen by a routine MRI. The team developed a technique called F18 PBR 06 PET imaging. The newly published study involved performing PET scans on 22 people with MS and eight healthy controls.

In this case, a 43-year-old man underwent an MRI scan that showed no contrast enhancement, yet hyperintensities were apparent in the patient’s left thalamus and frontoparietal region. Thus, the clinicians performed an additional PET scan with an amino acid radiotracer (F-18 FET) for further diagnosis of a suspected glioma.
