Hopkins tests 'Glowing' tracer to spot hidden infections
NCT ID NCT05611905
Summary
This small, early-stage study tested a new radioactive tracer called 11C-PABA for PET scans. The goal was to see if this tracer could help doctors better locate infections in the body and tell them apart from other problems like inflammation or cancer. Researchers scanned 13 adults, including healthy people and those with confirmed infections or other diseases, to see where the tracer went in the body.
