Revelation Revolution

Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) one hour after injection of radioactive glucose highlights rapidly metabolising tissue such as the liver metastases of a colorectal tumour seen here within the abdomen, along with normal accumulation of the tracer in the heart, bladder, kidneys and brain

Edward J Hoffman – born on this day, January 1st in 1942 – along with Michel Ter-Pogossian and Michael E. Phelps – developed the first human Positron Emission Tomography scanner in 1973

Profound neuroinflammation associated with long COVID

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used a novel quantitative assessment, [18F]DPA-714 positron emission tomography (PET), to gather in vivo evidence of widespread neuroinflammation in two patients with post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC). Study: Long COVID is associated with extensive in-vivo…

PET Caterpillars

Usually found in hospitals, positron emission tomography (PET) scanners are chamber-sized devices that help to diagnose diseases, spotting changes in how tissues metabolise or break down chemical tracers in a similar way to sugars. The approach helps millions of people during diagnosis, but using PET for research on mammals is expensive with many ethical issues. On the hunt for alternatives, scientists turn to caterpillars. Similar enough to humans in their genetics and large enough that their insides can be inspected by PET, the larvae of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) make excellent model organisms. Here, using electron microscopy the gut of a healthy caterpillar (left) is compared with cells changed by a bacterial infection (right) – mimicking inflammation seen in colitis – which can be reversed with antibiotics. Caterpillars may have lots to teach us not only about how certain inflammatory diseases progress, but also how researchers might improve and expand on techniques like PET.

In positron emission tomography scanners, radioactive materials are used to visualize biological processes

In pre-clinical and clinical settings, PET is employed as a medical and research tool. It is widely utilised for the clinical diagnosis of several diffuse brain illnesses, such as those producing various types of dementias, and for the imaging of tumours and the search for metastases within the field of clinical oncology. PET is a useful research method for gaining knowledge about how the human brain and heart normally function as well as to promote drug development. Positron emission tomography scanners is also applied in animal-based pre-clinical research. It permits ongoing research into the same people, where participants can serve as their own controls, and significantly lowers the quantity of animals needed for a specific study.
