New publication in EJNMMI!
Head motion limits quantitative brain PET, especially for dynamic scans. We optimized our markerless motion tracking and validated it across tracers/studies—plus early results on the NeuroEXPLORER (NX) brain PET.

Congrats to Graeme Mason, PhD, professor of radiology & biomedical imaging, & of psychiatry @YaleMed, on being appointed to the Advisory Council of the @NIAAAnews, in recognition of his long history of alcohol research, using MR imaging & spectroscopy. https://t.co/anc0TeMQZt
Jason Johnson, MD, MBA of @YaleMed, leads study showing that dual-timepoint 18F-FDG PET imaging helps discern brain tumor progression from radiation necrosis, offering better accuracy than MRI in ambiguous cases by measuring higher tumor metabolic activity https://t.co/ml6D8HAloR
External validation is a great way to improve rigor in neuroimaging. Although a simple idea is simple—test a predictive model on another dataset—the practice is not. In our Perspective in @naturemethods, we discuss these limitations and offer solutions: https://t.co/Mg3BqxLv2n
Researchers present "the first in vivo evidence that lower synaptic density in mood-related brain regions may contribute to depression in #Parkinsons"; SV2A PET imaging finds synaptic density was -vely correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms

Did you know that a childhood fascination with @StarTrek & the idea of diagnosing a complex medical condition w/o touching the patient is one reason @JuliusChapiro of @YaleMed became a radiologist? Learn more about Dr. Chapiro in this article from @RSNA. https://t.co/LEyy4TNURz
Drs. Irina Esterlis & Robert Pietrzak received a $4.2 million NIMH grant to investigate how menopause affects the brain, mood, and cognition. Synaptic density will be measured using SV2A PET to accelerate the development of targeted treatments.

YBII researchers have tested a new, more sensitive neuroimaging tool, SV2A PET, for diagnosing behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). It could help detect bvFTD earlier and potentially improve patients’ prognoses.

New paper alert ‼️🔊🧠
Zheng lab’s first PNAS paper is now live!
In this study, we used SV2A PET imaging and detected significant synaptic losses in a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis and patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
