PET reveals ‘smoldering’ brain inflammation in patients treated for MS
This study tells us something new about the disease and may be giving us an important clue as to what is driving disease progression in patients,” noted Rohit Bakshi, MD, a co-author on the paper.
Ultimately, the study validates the use of F-18 PBR06 PET scans in these patients, with the tracer providing a longer half-life life than current tracers, according to the group. This allows extended imaging acquisition times to measure TSPO as a biomarker, the team wrote.
“This is a new approach that is potentially going to be very helpful for the field, for research, and hopefully for clinical use,” the researchers conc...
