Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) one hour after injection of radioactive glucose highlights rapidly metabolising tissue such as the liver metastases of a colorectal tumour seen here within the abdomen, along with normal accumulation of the tracer in the heart, bladder, kidneys and brain

Edward J Hoffman – born on this day, January 1st in 1942 – along with Michel Ter-Pogossian and Michael E. Phelps – developed the first human Positron Emission Tomography scanner in 1973

Scientists unveil genome-driven imaging for medical diagnosis

- By InnoNurse Staff -

Methods of imaging like computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) are crucial in diagnosing and pinpointing various illnesses. A recently devised approach allows PET to specifically leverage alterations in the human genome for diagnosis.

Because of this, any unusual activity, such as that produced by the presence of cancer cells, can be detected by the presence of a 'hot spot' or 'cold spot' on the image produced (see figure 27.25).

X-ray imaging, PET scans, CT scans, and MRIs are various imaging techniques that are used to capture images of the inside of the body. 🩻

X-ray

— detects bone fractures, certain tumors and other abnormal masses, pneumonia, some types of injuries, calcifications, foreign objects, or dental problems.

MRA

— Magnetic Resonance Angiography uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency waves, and a computer to evaluate blood vessels and help identify abnormalities.

MRI

— Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses a magnetic field and radio waves to take pictures inside the body.

It is especially helpful to collect pictures of soft tissue such as organs and muscles that don't show up on x-ray examinations

PET scan

— Positron Emission Tomography may be used to evaluate organs and/or tissues for the presence of disease or other conditions.

PET may also be used to evaluate the function of organs, such as the heart or brain.

The most common use of PET is in the detection of cancer and the evaluation of cancer treatment.

CT scan

— Computed Tomography is used to identify disease or injury within various regions of the body.

For example, CT has become a useful screening tool for detecting possible tumors or lesions within the abdomen.

A CT scan of the heart may be ordered when various types of heart disease or abnormalities are suspected.

I had great fun in the PET-CT hub yesterday! Remind me to give you guys that lecture on Nuclear Medicine at some point~

An interesting preprint looking at a new imaging technique that can detect covid in the body non-invasively.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has caused nearly 780 million cases globally. While available treatments and vaccines have allowed a reduction of the mortality rate, the spread of the virus is still evolving quickly, resulting in the emergence of new variants. Despite extensive research, the long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection is still poorly understood and requires further investigation.

Routine analysis provides limited access to the tissues of patients, necessitating alternative approaches to investigate viral dissemination in the organism. We addressed this issue by implementing a whole-body in vivo imaging strategy to longitudinally assess the biodistribution of SARS-CoV-2. We demonstrate in a COVID-19 non-human primate model that a single injection of non-neutralizing radiolabeled [89Zr]COVA1-27-DFO human monoclonal antibody targeting a preserved epitope of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein allows longitudinal tracking of the virus by positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT). Convalescent animals exhibited a persistent [89Zr]COVA1-27-DFO PET signal in the lungs, as well as in the brain, three months following infection. This imaging approach also allowed detection of the virus in various organs, including the airways and kidneys, of exposed animals during the acute phase of infection. Overall, the technology we developed offers a comprehensive assessment of SARS-CoV-2 distribution in vivo and provides a new approach for the non- invasive study of long-COVID physiopathology.
