Excerpt
For those of us interested in molecular imaging of the major neurodegenerative disorders, the last decade has witnessed a marked advancement. From basic research to clinical studies, the field has evolved using multidisciplinary techniques and skills, leading to results of significant clinical interest. Reasoning on the role of inflammation in neurodegenerative disease, the recent paper by Santillo et al. [
1] is an example of the breadth and depth of the evolving impact of molecular imaging on the field of neurodegeneration and stimulates a reflection on the state of the art of target-specific positron emission tomography (PET) probes of inflammation for brain imaging. …
