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.

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.

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

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.

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.
