PET/CT metric improves outcome predictions in Pluvicto patients
By Will Morton
The inclusion of total tumor volume (TTV) produces prediction models with better discriminatory ability.
March 31, 2026
PSMA-PET images. (A) Representative examples illustrate the variability in the total tumor volume (TTV) among patients stratified by the number of metastatic lesions. (B) Case examples demonstrate TTV segmentation across a range of TTV values. Notably, as the tumor volume increased, a visible decrease in radiopharmaceutical uptake by normal organs is observed, particularly in the salivary glands, kidneys, and liver (denoted by brackets), a phenomenon known as the “sink effect.” SUV = standardized uptake value.

PET reveals disease activity in autoimmune encephalitis
By Will Morton
PET revealed brain region-specific astrogliosis corresponding to clinical manifestations and disease severity.
March 26, 2026
(A) Overview of study participants with different clinical phenotypes depicted in distinct colors: Limbic encephalitis (LE)/temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE): Blue; cerebellar ataxia (CA): Green; stiff person syndrome (SPS): Red, including overlapping clinical features with an overview of the analyzed parameter; generated in Biorender. (B) F-18 F-DED uptake, as visualized by SUVr with global mean scaling, is shown for three representative patients with GAD65-AIE: Patient #6 with LE/TLE, showing mesiotemporal F-18 F-DED uptake; patient #16 with overlapping clinical features of CA, SPS, and LE, showing both mesiotemporal and cerebellar F-18 F-DED uptake; and patient #17 with isolated SPS showing no increased F-18 F-DED uptake. Additionally, the average F-18 F-DED uptake of eight controls is shown on the right.
