Glypican-3 (GPC3) is markedly overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and not expressed in normal liver tissues. In this study, a novel peptide PET imaging agent ([F]AlF-NOTA-IPB-GPC3P) was developed to target GPC3 expressed in tumors. The overall radiochemical yield of [F]AlF-NOTA-IPB-GPC3P was 10-15 %, and its lipophilicity, expressed as the logD value at a pH of 7.4, was -1.18 ± 0.06 (n = 3). Compared to the previously reported tracer [F]AlF-GP2633, [F]AlF-NOTA-IPB-GPC3P exhibited higher cellular uptake (15.13 vs 5.96) and internalized rate (80.63 % vs 35.93 %) in Huh7 cells at 120 min. Micro-PET/CT and biodistribution studies further demonstrated that [F]AlF-NOTA-IPB-GPC3P exhibited significantly increased tumor uptake and prolonged tumor residence in Huh7 tumors compared to [F]AlF-GP2633 (4.66 ± 0.22 % ID/g vs 0.72 ± 0.09 % ID/g at 60 min, p < 0.001; 5.05 ± 0.23 % ID/g vs 0.35 ± 0.08 % ID/g at 120 min, p < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, the tumor-to-organ ratios of [F]AlF-NOTA-IPB-GPC3P surpassed those of [F]AlF-GP2633. Our results support the utilization of [F]AlF-NOTA-IPB-GPC3P as a PET imaging agent targeting the GPC3 receptor for tumor detection.

Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) is a statistical framework and open source software package for neuroimaging data analysis. Originally created by Karl Friston in the early 1990s, it has been used by a vast number of scientific studies over the last three decades. SPM has not only revolutionized the analysis of neuroimaging data but also catalyzed the development of cognitive neuroscience.

Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the inter- and intra-observer agreement regarding lesions with uncertain malignancy potential in Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT imaging of prostate cancer patients, utilizing the PSMA-RADS 2.0 classification system, and to emphasize the malignancy evidence associated with these lesions.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT images of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer via histopathology between December 2016 and November 2023.

Background: Precise preoperative discrimination of invasive lung adenocarcinoma (IA) from preinvasive lesions (adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS]/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma [MIA]) and prediction of high-risk histopathological features are critical for optimizing resection strategies in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: In this multicenter study, 813 LUAD patients (tumors ≤3 cm) formed the training cohort. A total of 1,709 radiomic features were extracted from the PET/CT images.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the predictive value of amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) versus the plasma ratio of phosphorylated tau at threonine 217 (p-tau217) to non-phosphorylated tau217 (%p-tau217) for tau-PET transitions (T- to T+). The added value of combining plasma amyloid-β 42 and amyloid-β 40 (Aβ42/40) and %p-tau217 into an amyloid probability score (APS2) was also assessed.
Methods: Mayo Clinic Study of Aging (MCSA) participants had plasma markers measured at via mass spectrometry (MS), an amyloid-PET scan, and a tau-PET (meta-temporal region of interest [ROI]) negative scan (standardized uptake value ratio [SUVR] <1.

Introduction: We developed and validated age-related amyloid beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET) trajectories using a statistical model in cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals.
Methods: We analyzed 849 CU Korean and 521 CU non-Hispanic White (NHW) participants after propensity score matching. Aβ PET trajectories were modeled using the generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) based on baseline data and validated with longitudinal data.
