In a study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, they have explored the potential of novel synaptic PET-tracer UCB-J as an important early diagnostic biomarker/tool for Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer disease (AD) is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and is projected to affect over 13 million ...

Using a PET tracer that binds to proteins present on activated immune cells, the technique produces images of ongoing inflammation throughout the body, such as rheumatoid arthritis. This makes it ...

PET-CT is performed using a small amount of a radioactive tracer, 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), that’s injected into the patient and becomes highly concentrated in lymphoma cells.

Can a patient have a CT scan, diagnostic X-ray examination or MRI scan on the same day as the PET/CT scan? » After a PET scan, how long does a patient need to wait before using public transportation ...

The predominant treatment for prostate cancer, a prevalent malignancy in men, is the surgical removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy) for which biopsy is a prerequisite. However, the high ...

[76] With regard to the detection of primary lesions, FDG-PET demonstrated superior results (sensitivity of 96.7%) to CT/MRI (sensitivity of 83.3%). In the evaluation of retroperitoneal lymph node ...

Conventional PET–CT scanners are used to detect conditions including cancers, heart disease and brain disorders. Patients are injected with a radioactive tracer and after about an hour ...

“PET uses a radioactive tracer to visualise molecular activity in the body. Typically, a PET scan is performed alongside a chest CT scan. The two scans are fused to provide combined information ...

Functional imaging by PET combines CT with a positron emission tracer. This procedure is a powerful combination, as it uses the high resolution and speed of multislice CT with information about ...
