ISCT: Stroke panel weighs optimal imaging approach
By Eric Barnes
Choosing acute stroke patients for reperfusion therapy means identifying their TRAIT -- that is, their treatment-relevant acute imaging target, according to a talk on Thursday at the International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) 2016 Symposium in San Francisco. But the optimal imaging approach is decidedly undecided.

SNMMI: PET shows tau may be Alzheimer's catalyst
By Wayne Forrest
SAN DIEGO - In a comparison of PET images with three different radiotracers, German researchers found that tau deposits may be more influential in causing Alzheimer's disease than amyloid accumulation, according to results presented on Monday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) meeting.

Image shows the topographical correspondence of tau but not amyloid pathology with neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease. The right lateral surface of projected z-score images reflects deviation from healthy controls. Yellow/red indicate higher uptake, while blue denotes lower uptake compared to controls.
