New paper in Physics in Medicine & Biology! AI method learns to reduce noise while avoiding dependence on patient-specific uptake patterns. We use repeated low-count versions of the same scan and follow-up scans to learn what should stay consistent. iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

New publication in EJNMMI! Head motion limits quantitative brain PET, especially for dynamic scans. We optimized our markerless motion tracking and validated it across tracers/studies—plus early results on the NeuroEXPLORER (NX) brain PET. rdcu.be/flR3x

Jason Johnson, MD, MBA of @YaleMed, leads study showing that dual-timepoint 18F-FDG PET imaging helps discern brain tumor progression from radiation necrosis, offering better accuracy than MRI in ambiguous cases by measuring higher tumor metabolic activity tinyurl.com/y769r8vx

External validation is a great way to improve rigor in neuroimaging. Although a simple idea is simple—test a predictive model on another dataset—the practice is not. In our Perspective in @naturemethods, we discuss these limitations and offer solutions: nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Researchers present "the first in vivo evidence that lower synaptic density in mood-related brain regions may contribute to depression in #Parkinsons"; SV2A PET imaging finds synaptic density was -vely correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms academic.oup.com/braincomms/…

Did you know that a childhood fascination with @StarTrek & the idea of diagnosing a complex medical condition w/o touching the patient is one reason @JuliusChapiro of @YaleMed became a radiologist? Learn more about Dr. Chapiro in this article from @RSNA. bit.ly/4tpZmg7

Drs. Irina Esterlis & Robert Pietrzak received a $4.2 million NIMH grant to investigate how menopause affects the brain, mood, and cognition. Synaptic density will be measured using SV2A PET to accelerate the development of targeted treatments. m.yale.edu/dhk6

YBII researchers have tested a new, more sensitive neuroimaging tool, SV2A PET, for diagnosing behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). It could help detect bvFTD earlier and potentially improve patients’ prognoses. Learn More: m.yale.edu/dhc5
