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.

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.

Theranostics pairs diagnostic biomarkers that can be visualized on nuclear medicine imaging with therapeutic agents that share a specific target in diseased cells or tissues. This theranostic therapy first demonstrated how using diagnostic imaging with a radioactive probe, gallium-68 (Ga-68 dotatate injection), could locate NETs on PET scans.

Molecular imaging enables doctors and clinicians to see inside the body with a non-invasive process, helping to diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease , and neurological diseases. It uses biomarkers to highlight molecular changes, which can sometimes alert doctors to possible disease.
