Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) scans can detect cancer earlier than other imaging tests. But some types of cancer are harder to detect on a PET scan. In particular, they may miss cancers that ...

PSMA PET scans significantly enhance detection and staging of prostate cancer, improving patient stratification and survival outcomes. Three FDA-approved PSMA PET scans are available, aiding in both ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of imaging scan that doctors might use when diagnosing and treating non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It can be useful for identifying and staging the cancer.

MyMichigan Medical Center Sault has begun offering PSMA PET scans, providing men in the eastern Upper Peninsula with an advanced imaging tool to detect prostate cancer.

A macrophage-targeted PET/CT tracer predicts anti-TNF response in rheumatoid arthritis at baseline and four weeks, enabling ...

PET scans may serve as both a diagnostic and prognostic tool in giant cell arteritis (GCA), according to a new study. In over 100 patients with GCA who underwent 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET ...

Researchers use AI and postmortem tissue to reveal that tau PET scans are often influenced by iron and neuroinflammation rather than tau tangles alone.

A new targeted PET/CT tracer can detect treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis patients in as little as four weeks, and potentially even at the start of treatment, according to new research ...

A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...
