A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) has been developed, using positron emission tomography (PET). The team has developed a new radiotracer, which is taken up by live TB bacteria in the ...

A novel PET radiotracer can accurately detect deep vein thrombosis in the legs and reveal whether clots have migrated to the lungs. By enabling whole-body imaging of blood clots in a single scan, the ...

Researchers in the U.S. and U.K. have developed what they say is a more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) using positron emission tomography (PET) to detect the causative Mycobacterium ...

A novel PET radiotracer can accurately detect deep vein thrombosis in the legs and reveal whether clots have migrated to the lungs. By enabling whole‑body imaging of blood clots in a single scan, the ...

Scientists have developed a new radiotracer (called [18F]4-FDF) that can map how cells use fructose for energy. The vast majority of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging systems map out how the ...

Adding the advanced PET radiotracer fluciclovine to conventional imaging to help guide radiation treatments for recurrent prostate cancer can improve disease-free survival rates, a new study finds.

A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) has been developed by UK and US researchers, using positron emission tomography (PET). The team, from the Rosalind Franklin Institute, the ...
