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.

First specific PET scan for TB could enable more effective treatment

ScienceDaily

Radiotracers are radioactive compounds which give off radiation that can be detected by scanners and turned into a 3D image. The new radiotracer, called FDT, enables PET scans to be used for the first time to accurately pinpoint when and where the disease is still active in a patient's lungs.

The rise of theranostics: Part 1 -- Gaining momentum

AuntMinnie

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.
