Can PET/MRI correlate tau with first responders' cognitive issues?
PET/MR images of tau deposits among emergency responders on 9/11 are concerning, but they fall short of a definitive link to dementia, according to research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada.

PET shows aerobic exercise has little effect on amyloid
While aerobic exercise is good for the cardiovascular system, PET images show a weekly regimen of this activity does nothing to change the status of beta-amyloid buildup in older adults with elevated levels of the marker for Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online January 14 in PLOS One.

PET/CT guidance offers valuable approach to lung biopsies
One optimum way to reduce inconclusive lung biopsy results and better detect malignancies is to use FDG-PET/CT for the image-guided procedure. Researchers from Brazil found that PET/CT had advantages over conventional CT guidance.

FDA makes history with approval of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent approval of a PET radiotracer that targets lesions positive for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is not only a "quantum leap" for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in men but also sets a precedent for academic research.

PET ties coronary blood flow to future adverse events
Using PET perfusion to gauge cardiac blood flow capacity, researchers have found that severely reduced coronary flow reserve is a key contributor to a greater risk of a major adverse cardiac event and death, according to a study published online November 18 in Cardiovascular Imaging.

(A) Overview of study participants with different clinical phenotypes depicted in distinct colors: Limbic encephalitis (LE)/temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE): Blue; cerebellar ataxia (CA): Green; stiff person syndrome (SPS): Red, including overlapping clinical features with an overview of the analyzed parameter; generated in Biorender. (B) F-18 F-DED uptake, as visualized by SUVr with global mean scaling, is shown for three representative patients with GAD65-AIE: Patient #6 with LE/TLE, showing mesiotemporal F-18 F-DED uptake; patient #16 with overlapping clinical features of CA, SPS, and LE, showing both mesiotemporal and cerebellar F-18 F-DED uptake; and patient #17 with isolated SPS showing no increased F-18 F-DED uptake. Additionally, the average F-18 F-DED uptake of eight controls is shown on the right.

Representative images of participants with difficulty with breath holding and arrhythmia. In the lower right corner of A–L, the position coordinates of the images are marked. Short-axis (SA) view images in the end-systole (A–F) and end-diastole (G–L) phases in participants with atrial fibrillation. (A–C, G–I) Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) cardiac cine. (D–F, J–L) Deep learning–enhanced compressed sensing (AI-CS) single-shot cardiac cine. In contrast to AI-CS single-shot cardiac cine, endocardial contours were challenging to identify on conventional segmented cine in midventricular and apical sections. (M) Line graph of time curve during the whole cardiac cycle obtained from bSSFP cardiac cine. (N) Line graph of time curve during the whole cardiac cycle obtained from AI-CS single-shot cardiac cine.
