Neuroimaging with PET/CT in chronic traumatic encephalopathy: what nuclear medicine can do to move the field forward

Luca Filippi et al.

Summary: Molecular neuroimaging with Tau-PET is an intriguing tool for the in vivo detection and monitoring of neuropathological hallmarks associated with CTE. Novel tracers, such as TSPO-ligands, hold promise for understanding the complex mechanisms leading from brain injury to symptomatic CTE.

Image Quantification for TSPO PET with a Novel Image-Derived Input Function Method

Yu-Hua Dean Fang et al.

Summary: A novel IDIF method for F-18-DPA-714 PET quantification was developed in this study, providing a noninvasive alternative measurement for arterial input function in the study of neuroinflammation and microglial activation. The results showed that this method accurately measures TSPO binding and demonstrates superior performance in distinguishing different binders.

Hybrid Imaging of Vascular Cognitive Impairment

Viviana Frantellizzi et al.

Summary: Cerebrovascular disease is a significant cause of cognitive impairment, different from Alzheimer's disease but with overlaps in risk factors, symptomatology, and treatment benefits. Vascular dementia is the most common cause of dementia after AD. Neuroimaging is essential for assessing vascular lesions in patients with cognitive decline and suspected VCID, and new hybrid devices offer potential for better differential diagnosis.
