Filter by:To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-0502B brain imaging for α-Syn protein-related diseases in patients with PD. To evaluate the imaging range of α-Syn protein density in patients with α-Syn protein-related diseases and to assess the level of abnormal α-Syn protein deposition by PET imaging with this PET tracer, and its safety in human studies.
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top ten causes of death worldwide with approximately 10 million cases globally and 1.2 million deaths. Sub-Saharan Africa carries the highest burden of TB. South Africa has one of the highest HIV and TB rates worldwide with an HIV prevalence rate in adults of 19% and a TB case notification rate of 615/100,000 in 2019. Over many years, focus has been paid to pulmonary TB and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) has received only little attention even though it accounts for almost a quatre of all TB cases. The diagnosis of EPTB remains challenging simply because sample collection requires invasive procedures in the absence of a blood-based diagnostic test. Spinal TB (spondylitis or spondylodiscitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis) - often known as Pott's disease - accounts for up to 10% of EPTB and affects young children, people with HIV-coinfection and elderly, and often leads to lifelong debilitating disease due to devastating deformation of the spine and compression of neural structures. Little is known with regards to the extent of disease and isolated TB spine as well as a disseminated form of TB spine have been described. The latter presents with a spinal manifestation plus disseminations to other organs such as the lungs, pleura, lymph nodes, the GIT or urinary tract or even the brain. In the Spinal TB X cohort, the investigators aim to describe the clinical phenotype of spinal TB using whole body PET/CT and identify a specific gene expression profile for the different stages of dissemination and compare findings to previously described signatures for latent and active pulmonary TB. A blood-based test for spinal TB would lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment in all settings globally and improve treatment outcome of this devastating disease.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and the safety of the combined approach with β-probe and 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in the correct identification of lymph node metastases, in high-risk prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.
As a new dual receptor (integrin αvβ3 and FAP) targeting PET radiotracer, 68Ga-FAPI-RGD is promising as an excellent imaging agent applicable to various cancers. In this research, we investigate the safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-FAPI-RGD in healthy volunteers. Moreover, we evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga-FAPI-RGD positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic lesions in various types of cancer, and compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT.
In this study, the investigators aim to provide a deeper understanding of Parkinson's disease and find a biomarker of Parkinson's disease. This is done using imaging scans called Positron Emission tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The findings will provide a deeper understanding of the brain changes in Parkinson's disease. More importantly, this study will help with the discovery and development of new medications aiming to delay progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms
In this study, the researchers aim to find a biomarker of PD. Using imaging scans called Positron Emission tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The PET and SPECT scans use small amounts of radiation and specific compounds called tracers, to study chemical changes in the brain in a way not possible with any other procedure. The MRI uses magnetic fields to generate images of brain structure and function
As an emerging molecule targeting FAP, 68Ga-FAP-CHX is promising as an excellent imaging agent applicable to various cancers. In this study, we observed the safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-FAP-CHX in patients with various types of cancer and compared them with the results of 68Ga-FAPI-04 or 18F-FDG imaging to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics and diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAP-CHX.
To explore the value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT imaging in early diagnosis of treatment-related cardiotoxicity (TACT) of lymphoma using visual method and semi-quantitative method.
To evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga-FAP-2286 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic lesions in various types of cancer, and compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT.
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT in primary and metastatic lesions of breast cancer and to reveal the best diagnostic imaging time of 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT.
