Brain PET scan for inflammation in fatty liver disease
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brain related to fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand how liver health affects brain function.

This study uses a single injection and a special type of PET scan to look at how your body's tissues use fuel (metabolism). It helps researchers learn more about normal and disease-related changes in the heart, liver, and other organs.
This early-stage study tests an imaging medicine ([F-18]DPA-714) that can help researchers see inflammation in the brain and nervous system. It may help doctors better understand how “inflammation signals” differ across conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
This study tests a new PET imaging agent called ¹⁸F-DFA to see if it can measure liver damage and liver failure. It may help doctors better understand your liver condition using a specialized scan.
This study uses a special PET/MR scan to look at inflammation in the brain. It may help people with certain brain conditions like memory loss, movement problems, or autoimmune encephalitis find better treatments.
This study uses a special PET scan to look at inflammation in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease or those at risk for it. The goal is to better understand the disease and possibly find new ways to track its progression.
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga-1A12) to look for scarring (fibrosis) in your body. The scan may help doctors see where fibrosis is happening, which could guide your treatment.
