Clinical implications for Translocator Protein (TSPO) imaging using 123ICLINDE SPECT: A feasible approach
Conclusions The preliminary results imply that [123I]CLINDE-SPECT is a feasible approach for TSPO imaging in neurological disorders associated with microglial activation and/or increased TSPO expression. The development of methods that do not need arterial blood sampling for quantification of TSPO will be important to ease implementation in a daily clinical setting. Further clinical studies are needed to determine the precise role of TSPO imaging in predicting clinical outcome and treatment response.

Imaging of Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption by Tc-99m-Tilmanocept Molecular Imaging of a Rodent Model of Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusions: These results are consistent with the hypothesis that microglial cells bearing CD206 trap fluorescent-labeled Tc-99m-tilmanocept in regions of BBB disruption. This provides the motivation for a clinical trial of intra-venously administered Tc-99m-tilmanocept with the goal of developing a SPECT/CT protocol for the detection of neuro-inflammation.
