The agreement will allow Enigma to use its PET imaging tracer PMI04 to visualize microglia activity in neurodegenerative ...

A study identifies the P2X7 receptor as a driver of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) following brain injuries. Blocking the receptor reduced brain hyperexcitability and damage in models.

A new therapy for the most aggressive type of brain cancer can extend patients' survival while cutting the length of ...

PSMA-PET imaging uses tiny amounts of radioactive “tracers,” called radiotracers, that binds to prostate cancer cells, making them visible on PET scans. Unlike conventional imaging, which provides ...

The seven best autoPET teams report in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence on how algorithms can detect tumor lesions in positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT).

Before positioning of the volunteers on the scanner, catheters were placed in an antecubital vein for tracer injection and in the radial artery for blood sampling. Before the PET study, a low-dose CT ...

A provincially run Manitoba facility that creates crucial materials used to detect cancer got a passing grade on its latest ...

The isotopes the facility produces are used to create the radioactive material — often called a tracer — that is injected into patients during a positron emission tomography (PET) scan.

Positron (β +) emission tomography (PET) is in use since many years, because accelerated ions generate positron-emitting isotopes by nuclear fragmentation in the human body. In heavy ion therapy, a ...
