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."
May 31, 2026
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.
May 31, 2026
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
An alpha-emitting radiotracer produced remission in patients who had exhausted typical treatment options for neuroendocrine tumors.

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.
