Hybrid PET/MR imaging offers a unique opportunity to acquire MR imaging and PET information during a single imaging session. PET/MR imaging has numerous advantages, including enhanced diagnostic accuracy, improved disease characterization, and better treatment planning and monitoring. It enables the immediate integration of anatomic, functional, and metabolic imaging information, allowing for personalized characterization and monitoring of neurologic diseases. This review presents recent advances in PET/MR imaging and highlights advantages in clinical practice for neuro-oncology, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative disorders. PET/MR imaging provides valuable information about brain tumor metabolism, perfusion, and anatomic features, aiding in accurate delineation, treatment response assessment, and prognostication.

Detection of Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis in Intractable Epilepsy Using Integrated F-FDG PET/MR Imaging.

Cerebellum

December 2024

Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 45 Changchun Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, 100053, China.

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis(CCD) involves reduced metabolism and blood flow in the cerebellar hemisphere contralateral to a supratentorial lesion. ASL is a valuable tool for quantifying regional cerebral blood flow. This study assesses ASL-MRI's ability to detect CCD in epilepsy using integrated F-FDG PET/MRI and compares ASL with PET images in evaluating CCD.

Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is an emerging Magnetic Resonance technique providing valuable insight into the dynamics of cellular glucose (Glc) metabolism of the human brain in vivo using deuterium-labeled (H) glucose as non-invasive tracer. Reliable concentration estimation of H-Glc and downstream synthesized neurotransmitters glutamate + glutamine (Glx) requires accurate knowledge of relaxation times, but so far tissue-specific T and T relaxation times (e.g.

Selective PET imaging of CXCR4 using the AlF-labeled antagonist LY2510924.

Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging

December 2024

Radiopharmaceutical Research, Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Background: [Ga]PentixaFor detects C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) overexpression in various malignancies, such as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, as well as in endocrine and inflammatory disorders. This study aimed to develop an AlF-labeled radiotracer derived from LY2510924 for CXCR4-targeted imaging, leveraging the physical and logistical advantages of fluorine-18.

Methods: We designed a CXCR4-specific radioprobe, [F]AlF-NOTA-SC, based on LY2510924 by incorporating a triglutamate linker and NOTA chelator to enable AlF-labeling.

Casticin inhibits proliferation of Non-small cell lung cancer cells through regulating reprogramming of glucose metabolism.

Phytomedicine

November 2024

Department of nuclear medicine, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710038, PR China. Electronic address:

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, with poor prognosis due to its rapid progression and resistance to existing therapies. Metabolic reprogramming, particularly alterations in glucose metabolism, is a key mechanism underlying tumor growth and progression, providing potential targets for novel therapeutic strategies. Casticin (CAS), a bioactive flavonoid, has shown anticancer effects in various cancers, but its specific role in NSCLC metabolism remains unclear.
