PET scans predict patient response to Pluvicto
By Will Morton
PET scans that determine whether men with prostate cancer are eligible for Pluvicto treatment can provide additional clues on how they may respond to the drug.

Whole-body anterior coronal PSMA-PET maximum intensity projection images in a 63-year-old white male participant with tumors in the liver, bone, and lymph node (LN) who had an initial prostate-specific antigen level of 181.9 ng/mL and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 0/1. The images show all PSMA-positive (PSMA+) disease as a single whole-body volume in red (left) and segmented according to anatomic region (right; bone lesions in blue, liver lesions in green, lymph node lesions in red).

SPECT/CT visualizes heart’s response to tafamidis
By Will Morton
SPECT/CT imaging can show over time how patients taking tafamidis for heart disease respond to the treatment.
August 16, 2024
Sagittal, coronal, and axial fused Tc-99m PYP-SPECT/CT images of a 93-year-old male at baseline and after two years of tafamidis 61 mg daily by mouth therapy. Tc-99m PYP images are shown in color and CT images are shown in grey scale. These images show a reduction in visual grade from an initial grade of 3 (myocardial uptake > rib uptake) to a follow-up grade of 1 (myocardial uptake < rib uptake). Quantitative metrics decreased significantly as well.
