Researchers have discovered they can image inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Their findings, titled “Detection of IL12/23p40 via PET visualizes inflammatory bowels disease,” were published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine in July 2023. IBD includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Both conditions increase a patient’s risk of developing colorectal cancer. The current standard of detecting IBD is endoscopy, however, molecular changes occur that are...
