The hosts of this SNMMI podcast episode have extensive reading lists, but they’re not New York Times best sellers — they’re images of the human brain. But the use of the amyloid and tau PET scans isn’t nearly as widespread as it could be, mainly due to implementation barriers.

Biopsies are an invasive way to diagnose prostate cancer, yet they remain the standard. Even when guided by MRI, 20-30% of cases can still be missed when there are negative or inconclusive images, leading to repeated biopsies. But PSMA PET/CT may offer patients another path.

When it comes to pediatric patients with epilepsy, we can do better than inconclusive images. Because PET/MRI shows both function and structure, it offers a way to pinpoint areas of the brain causing seizures, and identify patients most likely to benefit from early intervention.
