True total-body and extended axial field-of-view (AFOV) PET/CT with 1m or more of body coverage are now commercially available and dramatically increase system sensitivity over conventional AFOV PET/CT. The Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra (Quadra), with an AFOV of 106cm, potentially allows use of significantly lower administered radiopharmaceuticals as well as reduced scan times. The aim of this study was to optimise acquisition protocols for routine clinical imaging with FDG on the Quadra the prioritisation of reduced activity given physical infrastructure constraints in our facility.

Background: The epidemiology and characteristics of cardiac involvement in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis remain unclear. We aimed to determine the prevalence, incidence, and clinical features of cardiac sarcoidosis in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Methods: The characteristics of patients with biopsy-proven pulmonary sarcoidosis were retrospectively evaluated.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is pathologically marked by tau tangles and beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaques. It has been hypothesized that Aβ facilitates spread of tau outside of the medial temporal lobe (MTL), but exact mechanism of this facilitation remains unclear. We aimed to test the hypothesis that abnormal Aβ induces an increase in inter-network functional connectivity, which in turn induces early-stage tau elevation in limbic network.

Article Synopsis
  • Gene therapy and cell transduction are emerging as promising treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, with PET imaging playing a key role in assessing treatment effectiveness.
  • The success of PET imaging relies on the creation of specific radiotracers that can identify exogenous transgenes or modified cells in the brain, potentially eliminating the need for invasive procedures.
  • This article discusses the current state and challenges in developing PET probes for monitoring gene therapy and cellular interventions, highlighting the importance of radiochemical development and practical applications in a clinical setting.

Purpose: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop2) is overexpressed in various solid tumors and contributes to tumor progression, while its expression remains low in normal tissues. Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), has shown efficacy in targeting this antigen. Leveraging the enhanced specificity of ADCs, we conducted the first immunoPET imaging study of Trop2 expression in gastric cancer (GC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models using Zr-labeled Trodelvy ([Zr]Zr-DFO-Trodelvy).
