Blasenkrebs: Neuer Radiotracer für bessere Therapieauswahl Am Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) hat ein Forschungsteam einen radiopharmazeutischen Molekülmarker entwickelt, der Tumore sichtbar machen kann, die das Zelloberflächenprotein Nectin-4 tra...

Urothelkarzinome sind eine häufige Form von #Blasenkrebs. Ein am @hzdr.bsky.social neuentwickelter ☢️ #Radiotracer könnte zukünftig helfen, passende Therapien für bestimmte Patientengruppen zu finden. #Nuklearmedizin

Sugar Transported into the Interior of Strawberry Fruits Captured by RI Imaging (QST Takasaki ). Labeled carbon dioxide was administered to strawberry leaves using RI, and the transport of sugars produced through photosynthesis into the fruits was visualized with PET-CT imaging. This is a vital physiological function that directly affects the sweetness and size of the fruit.

🌱💡At QST, we're imaging the invisible!
Our RI Imaging Project uses quantum beams to track how nutrients & pollutants move through plants—with pinpoint precision. Big impact on agri & enviro science! 🌍🌿

Prof Andy Sutherland and Dr Adriana Tavares in front of a patient scanner at QMRI, Edinburgh.

Supported by two IAA projects, Prof. @andysuth14.bsky.social, the Sutherland group and the Tavares Group (UofE) have developed a new PET #radiotracer to diagnose inflammation-associated diseases incl. #Alzheimer's and #Parkinson's, and myocardial infarction.

PET tracer offers new insights into spinal cord injuries A novel PET technique that visualizes spinal cord injuries provides critical information about which patients may be able to regain mobility, according to new research.

A newly developed #PET #radiotracer could help diagnose injuries of the #spine more precisely, monitor #recovery, and evaluate #therapy effectiveness, according to research led by Clas Linnman, PhD, and @pbrugarolas.bsky.social from 🇺🇸 @harvardmed.bsky.social, and published by @snm-mi.bsky.social.

Human. Be the best you can be. It's not just an exam, is not just a #radiotracer. Your patient is someone else's loved one, make sure they know you are there for them.

New radiotracer lights up aggressive cancer tumours Researchers have used a chemical compound to light up treatment-resistant cancers on imaging scans, in a breakthrough that could help medical professionals better target and treat cancer.

Research led by @timwitney.bsky.social from 🇬🇧 @kingslsm.bsky.social finds that a new #radiotracer – an injected compound used in #PET scans – could help inform doctors that a patients aggressive #cancer will not respond to #chemotherapy before treatment is given.

Why an Offline Nuclear Reactor Led to Thousands of Hospital Appointments Being Canceled Radioisotopes are a vital resource for imaging patients’ organs and tumors—but these unstable elements also suffer from an unstable supply chain.

While a lot of people don't understand. #Nuclear #Medicine and #PET scan are two modalities where your exam will not happen if there is no access to the #radiotracer. You can ask to speak to the manager, but it won't change anything...
