A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) has been developed by UK and US researchers, using positron emission tomography (PET).
The Rosalind Franklin InstituteJun 27 2024 A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis has been developed by UK and US researchers, using positron emission tomography .
The researchers have put the new radiotracer through extensive pre-clinical trials with no adverse effects and it is now ready to go into Phase I trials in humans. However, a spit test can show a negative long before the disease has been fully treated in the lungs, which could result in patients finishing treatment too early.
Related StoriesA key advantage of the new approach is that it only requires a hospital to have standard radiation control and PET scanners, which are becoming more widely available throughout the world. The new molecule is created from FDG using a relatively simple process involving enzymes developed by the research team.

Researchers aim to prevent seizures in Sturge-Weber syndromePort wine stains—capillary malformations on the skin—are the most visible manifestation of Sturge-Weber syndrome. However, up to 60% of babies with birthmarks in high-risk locations (forehead and upper eyelid) also have capillary malformations in their brain.
