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%

Men should have prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scans about eight months after undergoing external beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer, a group at the University of California, Los Angeles has reported. The median duration between the first PET scan and the end-date of radiotherapy was 2.3

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.

Mammography: This technique is used to detect early signs of breast cancer and other abnormalities in breast tissue Low Dose CT for Lung Cancer Screening: This is a non-invasive imaging test that uses low levels of radiation to detect lung abnormalities early, improving the chances of successful treatment. How Does Early Detection Help?

Similar to F-18 FDG-PET, the technique targets glucose metabolism specifically its downstream metabolites, lactate (Lac), glutamate and glutamine (Glx), which function abnormally in Alzheimers disease. Given that PET scans are more expensive and expose patients to small amounts of radiation, DMI is being explored as an alternative.

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 newly published study involved performing PET scans on 22 people with MS and eight healthy controls. Researchers measured the glial activity load on the PET scans, a new measure developed in Singhal’s lab where lab members looked at the level of smoldering inflammation from microglia in MS patients.
