A novel alpha-synuclein PET tracer, [11C]MODAG-005, visualises pathological protein deposits in the human brain. The split-screen image compares the anatomical brain structure (left) with the molecular pathology (right) and illustrates the selective tracer accumulation in two brain regions (caudate and putamen) of a patient with multiple system atrophy. © Kristina Herfert / University Medical Center Tübingen
