Early brain accumulation of amyloid plaque on PET scans is associated with emerging depressive symptoms in cognitively unimpaired older adults, according to a study published August 29 in JAMA Network Open. Their aim in this study was to determine whether these associations persist or progress over time.

A deep-learning AI model shows promise in helping clinicians assess cardiac sarcoidosis on PET scans, according to research presented on September 6 at the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology annual meeting in Austin, TX. In the absence of treatment, the disease can lead to irreversible fibrosis and sudden cardiac death.

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.

Oftentimes, this is because inflammatory breast cancer presents with unique symptoms. Computerized tomography (or a CT scan) combines images from different angles to create cross-section pictures of the body with more information than typical X-ray technology. Swelling and redness occur when cancer cells block the skin’s lymph vessels.

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.
