NeuroLF is an ultra-compact and patient-centric designed brain PET system which assists in diagnosing and monitoring of brain related disorders like Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Brain Tumors, Epilepsy, Parkinson\u2019s disease and others. The system is not yet commercially available.<\/p>\n<p>The initial focus will be on the diagnosis of dementia in general and Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) in particular. AD is the most common form of dementia, accounting for ~70% of all dementias in those over 60. In 2020 there were over 55 million people worldwide living with dementia and it is predicted that individuals affected by AD will grow to 139 million in 2050<sup>1<\/sup>. Earlier this year, very promising AD developments have been reported in the US with the positive readout of Donanemab phase 3 trial by Eli Lilly<sup>2<\/sup> and the traditional approval of the disease modifying drug Lecanemab\/Leqembi (Eisai\/Biogen)<sup> 3,4<\/sup>. In addition, CMS announced that Medicare will cover AD drugs<sup>5<\/sup>, making them broadly available to appropriate patients. \u201cPET imaging of the brain is essential for the accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer\u2019s disease\u201d, according to <strong>Michael Rafii<\/strong> MD, Ph.D., Professor of Neurology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t <div class=\"txt-textfield-btns pt-2 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t <\/div> \t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t \n\t  \n \n \n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"res-text-bild-block_6452208b9f65f\" class=\"res-block res-text-bild layout01 py-1\" style=\"background: transparent;\">\n  <div class=\"inner-container container-off\" data-aos=\"res-fadeIn\">\n\n\t\t\t  <style>\n\t\t\t @media only screen and (min-width: 970px) {\n\t\t\t  #res-text-bild-block_6452208b9f65f.res-text-bild .layout-1 .txt-imagebox.offset-md-1 {margin-left: 3%;}\n\t\t\t  #res-text-bild-block_6452208b9f65f.res-text-bild .layout-1 .txt-box.offset-md-1 {margin-left: 3%;}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t \n\t\t  <\/style>\n\n\n        <div class=\"layout-1 row \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-7 txt-box \">\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"txt-text postContent pt-2 pt-md-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong><em>\u201cWith the recently approved drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, accurate diagnosis will be critical before initiation of any disease-modifying therapy.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Dr. Michael Rafii \u2013 Professor of Neurology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md mb-2 mt-md-1 txt-imagebox offset-md-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.positrigo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Prof.-Rafii-1000x750.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid w-100 txt-img\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EANM attendees welcome the NeuroLF system<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EANM participants which experienced the NeuroLF system the first time, were full of praise and impressed by the compact design and the intuitive usability of the system. <strong>Dr. Jannis Fischer <\/strong>and<strong> Dr. Max Ahnen,<\/strong> the two co-founders of Positrigo are happy with the initial reactions of the EANM participants: \u201cIt is great to see that the EANM community welcomes our imaging solution so enthusiastically.
