The award funds a project to develop SV2A PET imaging for spinal cord injury diagnosis and prognosis, using novel radiotracers to monitor synaptic changes and support therapeutic evaluation.
Description
This project aims to develop a sensitive, reliable, and quantitative PET imaging method for diagnosing and prognosing spinal cord injury (SCI). It focuses on using a novel SV2A radiotracer to track synaptic density changes and neuroplasticity over the disease course, facilitating non-invasive longitudinal tracking and therapeutic evaluation.
