PET brain scans show persistent brain inflammation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), despite being treated with high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies, according to a recent study by researchers in Boston. The researchers performed F-18 PBR06 PET scans on 22 patients with MS and eight healthy controls.

People with higher amounts of visceral abdominal fat in midlife may be at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to research to be presented at the upcoming RSNA meeting. A subset of 32 patients underwent PET imaging to identify any amyloid plaque and tau tangles that would indicate the development of Alzheimer's disease.

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.
