Attralus completes financing to validate pan-amyloid nuclear imaging agent

Biopharmaceutical firm Attralus has completed a $25 million Series A financing designed to further validate its AT-01 pan-amyloid radiotracer for PET/CT.

Imaging-based AI ‘unlikely to replace the integrative reasoning and judgment of an astute physician’

Not only can different lung diseases look much the same in chest imaging, but distinct diagnoses may present widely dissimilar image patterns in the same patient at the same timepoint, too.

Novel imaging agent helps radiologists visualize inflammation via PET scan

Physicians do not currently have a sound method of zeroing in on this concern, but Washington University researchers may have found an answer.
