Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a characteristically heterogeneous disorder, as multiple neurodevelopmental disorders are characterized by similar symptomology and behavior. Research has shown that individuals with ASD benefit from early…
Neuroimaging, particularly positron emission tomography (PET), plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing brain disorders by providing insights into diverse neuropathologies such as vascular issues, infections, inflammation, degenerative diseases,…
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a variety of health challenges, with “long COVID” emerging as a widespread and debilitating post-acute syndrome among a considerable number of…
While MR imaging is the main imaging modality to assess brain tumors, PET imaging has a specific role. Among the many tracers that have been proposed and are still being…
This article explores the role of PET in the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia. PET imaging can reveal neurobiologic aspects such as cerebral blood flow, glucose metabolism, receptor function, and…
Since the 2000s, Nuclear Medicine has primarily used SPECT with DaTSCAN and PET with [18F]-FDG to explore movement disorders. Recent advances in PET radiotracers, such as LBT 999 for dopamine…
This review examines the role of metabolic connectivity based on fluorodeoxyglucose-PET in understanding brain network organization across neurologic disorders, with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases. The article explores key methodologies…
Radiation-induced injuries (RIIs) are significant complications of radiation therapy used in cancer treatments and affect organs in a systemic fashion such as the heart, lungs, liver, and bone marrow. Such…
Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer is a cornerstone of treatment but can come with significant and lasting complications. Reduced vascularity and fibrosis heighten the risks of stroke, infection,…
Radiation-induced coronary artery disease (RI-CAD) is a significant cardiovascular complication for cancer survivors treated with thoracic radiation therapy (RT). Despite advances in RT techniques, exposure to the heart during treatment…
