(Left) F-18 GP1 PET/CT images from a 75-year-old woman show multiple blood clots in the deep veins of the left leg (from the thigh to the calf), as well as several clots in the right calf. Venous ultrasound confirms blood clots in left thigh, knee and calf veins. PET/CT also detects clots in both lungs, which are confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT image. (Right) 18F-GP1 PET/CT images from a 70-year-old woman show widespread blood clots throughout the body. In addition to clots in the deep veins of both legs and the arteries of both lungs (A), the scan also detected unexpected clots in several other areas, including blood vessels near the skull/head (B), spine (C), heart (D), and pelvis (E). Further evaluation revealed that the patient had antiphospholipid syndrome, an autoimmune condition that increases the risk of abnormal blood clot formation.

SNMMI: Point-of-care PET system may guide interventional procedures
By Amerigo Allegretto
A portable, point-of-care PET system showed success in imaging organs and may be helpful in interventional guidance.

SNMMI: PET tracer detects CTE tau pathology in living patients
By Kate Madden Yee
Study findings suggest "a clinical role for PET in traumatic brain injury and sports- and military-related neurodegeneration."

Parametric maps obtained with SRTM2 (cerebellum grey matter as reference) for the group of healthy participants (top) and from one representative participant with suspected CTE (bottom). CTE: chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
SNMMI: SPECT/CT tracer shows promise in interstitial lung disease
By Will Morton
Differentiating between fibrotic scarring and inflammation stages of disease is critical so that physicians can determine what treatment is best for the patient.

Sample images from each participant group: A: CT only; B: fused Tc-99m maraciclatide SPECT/CT.
SNMMI: Alpha-emitting tracer offers neuroendocrine tumor treatment option
By Kate Madden Yee

SNMMI: PET tracer detects both cardiac Inflammation and tumor activity
By Will Morton
CCR2 is expressed in both atherosclerotic plaques and tumors.
May 31, 2026
Combination therapy of JAK1i with anti-PD1 slows down tumor growth and reduces CCR2+ cells infiltration in atherosclerotic lesions compared to anti-PD1 alone. Representative PET images of cardio-oncology mice treated with anti-PD1 alone or in combination with JAK1i. The PET uptake was normalized by subtracting blood retention.
SNMMI: Prostate cancer vaccines may improve response to Pluvicto
By Will Morton
Immunological priming before radiopharmaceutical therapy may enhance clinical efficacy without impairing prostate antigen-specific T-cell response.
