A novel PET radiotracer binds preferentially to myelin to provide unique brain imaging advantages over existing MRI methods. Here’s an overview of its backstory and clinical potential.
Myelin PET: Pioneering Its Clinical Application in Epilepsy and Beyond
Myelin PET offers quantitative imaging of brain microstructure that goes beyond what’s seen with current MRI methods. Here’s how we’re using it in epilepsy — and how we’ll soon be using it in other CNS diseases.
