Imagine having a window into your body, allowing you to see how your organs and tissues are functioning at a cellular level. That's the power of a PET-CT scan, a powerful imaging technique that ...

Repetitive brain traumas such as concussions, which often affect football players, could be detected earlier using a brain imaging technique, researchers say. In spite of the risks faced by ...

An experimental brain scan can now detect abnormal proteins in the brains of living former NFL players affected by chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The study, conducted by a team of researchers in ...

A PET scan is an imaging test that lets your doctor check for diseases in your body. The scan uses radioactive tracers that highlight problems at a cellular level. A positron emission tomography (PET) ...

This 61-year-old male with locally unresectable NSCLC (stage IIIB) received appropriate combined-modality therapy using concurrent radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Optimal combined-modality ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) using the investigational tau tracer FDDNP may reveal chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in living athletes and differentiate it from Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

What Is a PET Scan? A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a type of imaging study that can help doctors see what’s happening inside your body and how it’s working. This can help them understand ...

In patients with differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs), recurrence occurs in 5–30% of cases and is usually detected during the first 10 years of follow-up. 1 Two-thirds of recurrences are localized ...
