September 30, 2020 – ADM Diagnostics has received a patent on a method that obtains information from a brain scan that would typically take much longer to measure. The first few minutes of a positron emission tomography (PET) scan contain information regarding brain blood flow and function. Information regarding the amount of amyloid burden or other entities is not obtained until many minutes later. To obtain both types of information requires scanning the patient for a long time or in two parts. ADMdx’s method is able to obtain both types of information using the first 20 or less minutes. This has application in Alzheimer’s disease and in other brain disorders.
