The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) PET Core has evolved over time, beginning with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of a subsample of participants with [F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET, adding tracers for measurement of β-amyloid, followed by tau tracers. This review examines the evolution of the ADNI PET Core, the novel aspects of PET imaging in each stage of ADNI, and gives an accounting of PET images available in the ADNI database. The ADNI PET Core has been and continues to be a rich resource that provides quantitative PET data and preprocessed PET images to the scientific community, allowing interrogation of both basic and clinically relevant questions. By standardizing methods across different PET scanners and multiple PET tracers, the Core has demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale, multi-center PET studies. Data managed and disseminated by the PET Core has been critical to defining pathophysiological models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and helped to drive methods used in modern therapeutic trials. HIGHLIGHTS: The ADNI PET Core began with FDG-PET and now includes three amyloid and three tau PET ligands. The PET Core has standardized acquisition and analysis of multitracer PET images. The ADNI PET Core helped to develop methods that have facilitated clinical trials in AD.

Objective: This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis to explore research trends, collaboration patterns, and emerging themes in the PET/MR field based on published literature from 2010 to 2024.
Methods: A detailed literature search was performed using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database with keywords related to PET/MR. A total of 4,349 publications were retrieved and analyzed using various bibliometric tools, including VOSviewer and CiteSpace.

High-volume disease (HVD) and low-volume disease (LVD) definitions in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients are based on conventional imaging (CI) (CT/MRI with bone scan [BS]) according to CHAARTED criteria. HVD and LVD definitions are associated with overall survival and are used for treatment decisions. It remains unknown how these definitions transfer to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET imaging.

Background: Preclinical testing in animal models is a critical component of the drug discovery process. Over the past three decades hundreds of interventions have demonstrated preclinical efficacy for ameliorating cognitive impairments in animal models; however, none have translated to efficacy in Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. This lack of translation suggests that there are issues with the animal models employed, the preclinical assays, and poor scientific rigor and reproducibility during execution.

Background: Although glymphatic function is involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD), its potential for tracking the pathological and clinical progression of AD and its sequential association with core AD biomarkers is poorly understood.
Method: Whole-brain glymphatic activity was measured by diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) in participants with AD (n = 47), mild cognitive impairment (n = 137), and normal controls (n = 235) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
Result: Decreased ALPS-index was observed in AD dementia, prodromal AD, and preclinical AD patients.

Background: Over the past years, social cognition has been envisaged as a promising domain to distinguish behavioral variant frontotemporal degeneration (bvFTD) from its main differential diagnoses that is primary psychiatric disorders (PPD). The core-processes approach, which has emphasized the importance of emotion recognition and mentalizing, has been particularly useful to better characterize each condition and enhance the earliness of FTD's diagnosis. However, new findings evidencing conflicting results regarding the ability of social cognition to distinguish bvFTD from PPD have underlined the importance of moving beyond the core processes approach.
