Are community rads supported for oncology imaging?
July 10, 2020 -- Although the rate of advanced oncological imaging in specialized, academic cancer centers has increased over the past 15 years, most of these exams continue to be read by radiologists in other practice settings who may not have specific expertise, according to a study published July 5 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Discuss PET links lower sleep levels with Alzheimer's risk
June 10, 2020 -- Individuals with mild cognitive impairment who slept less than six hours per night had higher levels of amyloid buildup -- a known contributor to Alzheimer's disease -- on PET scans than those who got more sleep, according to a study out of Japan published online June 9 in JAMA Open.

Discuss What's the best way to image COVID-19?
June 3, 2020 -- Researchers from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City have released an overview of imaging modalities used to diagnose and manage COVID-19 pneumonia, trends to watch in artificial intelligence, and a description of nonchest complications from the disease. The review was published June 1 in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.

Discuss PET/MRI shows inflammation link to mitral valve prolapse
June 1, 2020 -- Researchers using a hybrid PET/MRI scanner detected a link between degenerative mitral valve prolapse and F-18 FDG uptake, a surrogate for myocardial inflammation and/or ischemia. The results, published online May 27 in JAMA Cardiology, apply to asymptomatic patients as well, suggesting an ongoing subclinical disease process.
