Newest firstBackground This case report presents a patient with progressive memory loss and choreiform movements. Case presentation Neuropsychological tests indicated multi-domain amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and neurological examination revealed asymmetrical involuntary hyperkinetic movements. Imaging studies showed severe left-sided atrophy and hypometabolism in the left frontal and temporoparietal cortex. [18…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Atypical parkinsonism (AP) often presents with Parkinson's symptoms but has a much worse long-term prognosis. The diagnosis is presently based on clinical criteria, but a cerebral positron emission tomography (PET) scan with [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-2-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) may assist in the diagnosis of AP such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a key serine hydrolase which terminates endocannabinoid signaling and regulates arachidonic acid driven inflammatory responses within the central nervous system. To develop [11C]PF-06809247 into a clinically usable MAGL positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand, we assessed the occupancy of MAGL by an inhibitor in the non-human primate (NHP) brain. Additionally, we…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background 18F-FDG brain PET measures metabolic changes in neurodegenerative disorders and may discriminate between different diseases even at an early stage. The objective of this study was to classify patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson plus syndromes (PP). To this end, different approaches were evaluated using generalized linear models and corresponding glucose metabolic brain patter…
Background Preclinical and histological data show overexpression of the type 1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) in prostate carcinoma (PCa). In a prospective study, the feasibility of 18F-MK-9470 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with primary and metastatic PCa was evaluated. Methods Eight patients were included and underwent 18F-MK-9470 PET/CT imaging. For five patients with primary PCa, dynamic P…
