Wayne Forrest[email protected]Nuclear MedicineCan PET/MRI correlate tau with first responders' cognitive issues?PET/MR images of tau deposits among emergency responders on 9/11 are concerning, but they fall short of a definitive link to dementia, according to research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada.June 20, 2022Nuclear MedicineFES-PET/CT can help detect breast cancerF-18 fluoroestradiol (FES)-PET/CT can be useful in detecting clinically significant breast cancer, according to preliminary study results presented June 12 at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada.June 13, 2022Molecular ImagingFDG-PET/MRI offers option for pediatric Hodgkin lymphomaFDG-PET/MRI is a promising alternative to FDG-PET/CT for staging and gauging treatment response for Hodgkin lymphoma, with the benefit of less radiation to pediatric and adolescent patients, according to a study published online February 19 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.March 4, 2021Molecular ImagingFlortaucipir-PET scans show near-term dementia riskImaging specialists who visually interpreted flortaucipir-PET images were able to determine a person's risk of progressing to Alzheimer's and mild cognitive impairment within the next 18 months in a recent study.February 16, 2021Molecular ImagingNano-MRI outduels PSMA-PET/CT for prostate cancerClinicians looking to accurately classify suspicious lymph nodes in prostate cancer patients could have another effective noninvasive option with a unique contrast-enhanced MR imaging technique, according to a study published online January 30 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.February 4, 2021Molecular ImagingPET shows aerobic exercise has little effect on amyloidWhile aerobic exercise is good for the cardiovascular system, PET images show a weekly regimen of this activity does nothing to change the status of beta-amyloid buildup in older adults with elevated levels of the marker for Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online January 14 in PLOS One.January 19, 2021Molecular ImagingPET/CT guidance offers valuable approach to lung biopsiesOne optimum way to reduce inconclusive lung biopsy results and better detect malignancies is to use FDG-PET/CT for the image-guided procedure. Researchers from Brazil found that PET/CT had advantages over conventional CT guidance.January 12, 2021Molecular ImagingFDA makes history with approval of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PETThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent approval of a PET radiotracer that targets lesions positive for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is not only a "quantum leap" for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in men but also sets a precedent for academic research.December 17, 2020Molecular ImagingPET links poor air quality to presence of amyloid plaquePET scans of older Americans have revealed a potential link between the quality of air they breathe and the presence of brain plaque linked to Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online November 30 in JAMA Neurology.December 3, 2020Molecular ImagingPET ties coronary blood flow to future adverse eventsUsing PET perfusion to gauge cardiac blood flow capacity, researchers have found that severely reduced coronary flow reserve is a key contributor to a greater risk of a major adverse cardiac event and death, according to a study published online November 18 in Cardiovascular Imaging.November 19, 2020Page 1 of 239Next PageTop StoriesAISIIM: ONC official urges smarter AI, better image sharingJason Funderburk, MD, from ONC delivered a fireside chat at SIIM outlining the state of AI in medical imaging today.Molecular ImagingPSMA-PET/CT halves biopsy rate in prostate cancer patientsAISIIM: Access links to imaging reports could benefit rads, patientsImaging InformaticsSIIM: Interactive multimedia reporting has benefits for radiologistsSponsor ContentWebinar: AI for CT & PET/CT Imaging
