Translocator protein positron emission tomography (TSPO-PET) is a novel imaging modality that leverages the high expression of TSPO in activated microglia and other cells within seizure foci. It has been increasingly applied in the preoperative evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) to aid in the localization of these foci. With advances in tracer development, TSPO-PET has achieved higher signal-to-noise ratios and broader clinical utility. Clinical studies indicate that TSPO-PET yields significantly higher positive detection rates for seizure foci compared to magnetic resonance imaging and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. This review summarizes recent progress in TSPO-PET radiotracer technology, its mechanism of action, and its clinical applications for managing DRE.
转位蛋白正电子发射断层扫描(TSPO-PET)是一种新型成像方式,它利用癫痫病灶内活化小胶质细胞和其他细胞中TSPO的高表达。它已越来越多地应用于药物难治性癫痫(DRE)的术前评估,以辅助这些病灶的定位。随着示踪剂开发的进展,TSPO-PET已实现更高的信噪比和更广泛的临床应用。临床研究表明,与磁共振成像和氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描相比,TSPO-PET对癫痫病灶的阳性检出率显著更高。本综述总结了TSPO-PET放射性示踪剂技术的最新进展、其作用机制及其在管理DRE中的临床应用。
