In 1928 Paul Dirac, born on this day, formulated a quantum theory that came to be known as the Dirac equation. The equation gave solutions that he interpreted as being caused by a particle equivalent to the electron, but with a positive charge. This particle, the positron, was later confirmed through experiments.

Diagnostic performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in patients with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer. The introduction of ligands targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), especially 68Ga-PSMA-11, has changed the management of patients with prostate cancer (PCa). 18F-Labelled ligands can be produced in larger amounts and therefore can improve availability for a larger group of patients.

PET Tracer Could Help Predict Treatment Effectiveness for Depression - SNMMI A PET imaging agent could show, ahead of time, whether a specific treatment is likely to be effective for major depressive disorder—a debilitating condition that affects more than 14 million Americans. No such marker is currently available in clinical psychiatry. The study is featured in the April...
