Building an open ecosystem for molecular neuroimaging: standards and tools from the OpenNeuroPET initiative (opens in new tab)

Molecular neuroimaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) enables quantification of specific molecular targets in the living brain. Despite its scientific impact, molecular neuroimaging research has historically faced challenges due to high costs, small sample sizes, laboratory-specific analysis pipelines, and limited large-scale data sharing. These factors have hindered reproducibility and the broader reuse of valuable PET datasets....
