PET Scans Help Identify Effective Tuberculosis Drugs
Positron emission tomography lung imaging can reveal whether or not a treatment drug is able to eradicate tuberculosis lung infection in human and macaque studies. The new findings indicate that the animal model can effectively predict which experimental drugs have the best likelihood for success in human trials. More...21 Dec 2014
