Imaging inflammation holds immense potential for advancing the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of many conditions1,2,3. The lack of a specific and sensitive positron emission tomography (PET) probe to detect inflammation is a critical challenge. To bridge this gap, we present CD45-PET imaging,...
Subsequently, two of the four lesioned rats underwent a PET:CT scan. [11C]PBR28 was prepared by 11C-methylation of the corresponding O-desmethyl precursor using [11C]methyl iodide. The specific activity was 289 GB q/umol. For imaging studies, the femoral vein and artery of SD rats were...
Your lung provider might order a chest CT scan, not realizing that your cancer provider had you get one two weeks ago. In this case, your insurer would not pre-authorize the second CT scan until it has confirmed that your lung health provider saw the scan you had two weeks ago and ...
Treatment may be started once the disease is officially diagnosed, but it can sometimes take years before a person meets the diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s. In the early stages, changes to the brain may only be recognized on a PET scan, and any signs of mild cognitive impairment may ...

MRI brain scans are performed on individuals to identify abnormal brain structure or activity which strongly indicates a mental disorder. The brain consists of many small neural cells that join, interact, and communicate in various manners. Increasingly, scientists have acknowledged the role of these ...
What is a PET Scan Used For? PET is a primary imaging modality for the detection and tracking of cancer. Nuclear imaging (PET and SPECT) are also considered a standard of care for myocardial perfusion exams to see if there is a lack of blood flow to the heart muscle due to a heart ...
Superiority was considered when the range of 95% CI did not include zero and favored the plasma biomarker. In classification of Aβ PET status in the entire BioFINDER-2 cohort, plasma %p-tau217 had very high performance (AUC = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95, 0.98), which was clinically ...
All patients underwent a 1.5 T MRI scan as diagnostic imaging. Transversal contrast-enhanced T1-weighted Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images were studied in this radiomics analysis. The detailed MRI acquisition parameters are described in the Data Supplement. ...
