Purpose: Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is an enzyme that shapes immune signaling through its role in maintaining the homeostasis of polyunsaturated fatty acids and their related byproducts. [F]FNDP is a radiotracer developed for use with positron emission tomography (PET) to image sEH, which has been applied to imaging sEH in the brains of healthy individuals. Here, we report the test-retest repeatability of [F]FNDP brain PET binding and [F]FNDP whole-body dosimetry in healthy individuals.
Methods: Seven healthy adults (4 men, 3 women, ages 40.1 ± 4.6 years) completed [F]FNDP brain PET on two occasions within a period of 14 days in a test-retest study design. [F]FNDP regional total distribution volume (V) values were derived from modeling time-activity data with a metabolite-corrected arterial input function. Test-retest variability, mean absolute deviation, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were investigated. Six other healthy adults (3 men, 3 women, ages 46.0 ± 7.0 years) underwent [F]FNDP PET/CT for whole-body dosimetry, which was acquired over 4.5 h, starting immediately after radiotracer administration. Organ-absorbed doses and the effective dose were then estimated.
Results: The mean test-retest difference in regional V (ΔV) was 0.82 ± 5.17%. The mean absolute difference in regional V was 4.01 ± 3.33%. The ICC across different brain regions ranged from 0.92 to 0.99. The organs with the greatest radiation-absorbed doses included the gallbladder (0.081 ± 0.024 mSv/MBq), followed by liver (0.077 ± 0.018 mSv/MBq) and kidneys (0.063 ± 0.006 mSv/MBq). The effective dose was 0.020 ± 0.003 mSv/MBq.
Conclusion: These data support a favorable test-retest repeatability of [F]FNDP brain PET regional V. The radiation dose to humans from each [F]FNDP PET scan is similar to that of other F-based PET radiotracers.

Background: Frequent and remote cognitive assessment may improve sensitivity to subtle cognitive decline associated with preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility, reliability, and construct validity of repeated remote memory assessment in late middle-aged and older adults.
Method: Participants were recruited from longitudinal aging cohorts to complete medial temporal lobe-based memory paradigms (Object-In-Room Recall [ORR], Mnemonic Discrimination for Objects and Scenes [MDT-OS], Complex Scene Recognition [CSR]) using the neotiv application on a smartphone or tablet at repeated intervals over one year.

Background: Learning over repeated exposures (LORE) is an emerging paradigm that has shown sensitivity to AD biomarkers in apparently cognitively unimpaired (CU) samples using visual stimuli. We present results of a six-month study in a CU sample that explored brief (<2 minute) assessment of verbal LORE alongside other measures of memory and sleep.
Method: The Prolific platform was used to recruit 190 participants.
The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test: adaptation into Russian and a new digital "RAVLT World".

Center for Language and Brain, HSE University, Moscow, Russia.
The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is a classic test used to assess episodic verbal memory in research and clinical practice. We aimed to adapt the RAVLT materials into Russian, provide performance norms across the adult lifespan for the Russian adaptation, and develop a mobile application for automated RAVLT administration across languages. We created three psycholinguistically matched alternative versions of the RAVLT materials in Russian and incorporated them into a new tablet application.

Background: INTER- and INTRAmuscular fat (IMF) is elevated in high metabolic states and can promote inflammation. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) excels in depicting IMF, the lack of reproducible tools prevents the ability to measure change and track intervention success.
Methods: We detail an open-source fully-automated iterative threshold-seeking algorithm (ITSA) for segmenting IMF from T1-weighted MRI of the calf and thigh within three cohorts (CaMos Hamilton (N = 54), AMBERS (N = 280), OAI (N = 105)) selecting adults 45-85 years of age.
Simultaneous Bilateral T, T, and T Relaxation Mapping of Hip Joint With 3D-MRI Fingerprinting.

Center of Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, New York University Grossman School of Medicine, New York, New York, USA.
Background: Three-dimensional MR fingerprinting (3D-MRF) has been increasingly used to assess cartilage degeneration, particularly in the knee joint, by looking into multiple relaxation parameters. A comparable 3D-MRF approach can be adapted to assess cartilage degeneration for the hip joint, with changes to accommodate specific challenges of hip joint imaging.
Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility and repeatability of 3D-MRF in the bilateral hip jointly we map proton density (PD), T, T, T, and ∆B in clinically feasible scan times.
