Researchers are developing a cutting-edge PET scan capable of assessing how well an individual human brain is cleaning itself, supported by NIF at SAHMRI.
The radioisotopes required for the scans are also being manufactured by SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit (MITRU), using the State’s only cyclotron. The unit specialises in making PET imaging tracers that bind to target cells in the body and emit radiation that’s then picked up on a PET scanner.
