Abstract
This symposium provided an extensive overview of emerging positron emission tomography (PET) tracers and targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD), highlighting novel approaches for imaging neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter systems, mitochondrial dysfunction, and proteinopathies. Key developments included the harmonization of PET data across cohorts, new tau and alpha-synuclein tracers, and critical advancements in understanding neurodegenerative disease heterogeneity through integrated imaging, genetic, and pathological studies.
期刊介绍:
The scope of AJNMMI encompasses all areas of molecular imaging, including but not limited to: positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), molecular magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical bioluminescence, optical fluorescence, targeted ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, etc. AJNMMI welcomes original and review articles on both clinical investigation and preclinical research. Occasionally, special topic issues, short communications, editorials, and invited perspectives will also be published. Manuscripts, including figures and tables, must be original and not under consideration by another journal.
