PET Scan Reliability: [18F]AlF-OC vs [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA for NENs

So, let’s talk about something pretty important in the world of medical imaging, specifically for folks dealing with Neuroendocrine Neoplasms, or NENs. If you’re not familiar, these are a group of tumors that often overexpress a thing called the somatostatin receptor (SSTR). And that’s where PET/CT scans using somatostatin analogues…

Unlocking the Secrets of Inflammation: A New PET Tracer Steps Into the Spotlight!

Hey there! Ever wonder what’s going on deep inside our bodies and brains, especially when things aren’t quite right? We’re talking about stuff like neuroinflammation or those tricky tumor-associated macrophages. These tiny cellular players are super important in how diseases like neurological disorders and even cancer develop. And guess what?…
