In 2023 compared with 2022, the total volume of positron emission tomography (PET) scans increased 10.2% year over year, according to the newly published IMV 2024 PET Market Summary Report. In 2023, the average number of PET scans per fixed PET site (versus mobile PET) increased 6.7%

Over the same period between the two years, the average number of PET scans performed per installed fixed PET/CT systems increased by 8.2% -- a finding that indicates that much of the increased procedure volumes have been absorbed by existing PET system capacity.

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. After binding to the receptor, the drug works by entering the cell allowing radiation to cause damage to the tumor cells.

The findings were published in Clinical Nuclear Medicine. The newly published study involved performing PET scans on 22 people with MS and eight healthy controls. Those being treated with low-efficacy treatments had more abnormalities on their PET scans, suggesting more microglial cell activation.
