Most nuclear medicine technologists are employed in hospital settings, where they contribute to the diagnosis and treatment.

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.

Recent advancements in imaging technologies, such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), have significantly enhanced our ability to evaluate ...

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 ...

When new findings about the brain are reported based on “brain scans” of human beings ... takes its name from the emission of radioactive energy by tracers injected into the blood—a ...

GE HealthCare is researching imaging tech for improved diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer and neurodegenerative ...

Tiny quantities of radioactive “tracers,” or radiotracers, are used in PSMA-PET imaging. These tracers attach to prostate cancer cells and make them visible on PET scans. PSMA-PET offers ...

It's a kind of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, a technique in which doctors inject a small amount of radioactive tracer into the patient and the scan then pinpoints where most of that ...

Objectives [11C]JNJ-42491293 is a novel PET tracer for the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype ... Biodistribution was determined in 3 subjects using dynamic whole-body PET-CT. Dynamic brain scans ...
