Wide-area 4D CT gives hope in cases of 'inoperable' lung cancer
Lung cancer patients with invasive tumors near vital structures are often thought to be inoperable cases. But these patients could gain new hope thanks to a dynamic 4D wide-area CT technique that is able to see the tumors in motion, helping clinicians give the go-ahead for surgical resection.

CT features help predict resolving, nonresolving lung nodules
CT can't precisely distinguish resolving from persistent and potentially malignant lung nodules at the first scan, but it does reveal the probabilities associated with different nodule characteristics, Dutch radiologists have found.

PET/CT predicts response to endorectal radiotherapy
PET/CT results can predict which patients will respond to high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy for stage II and III rectal cancer, according to a study presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. The results could pave the way for easier treatments and better outcomes.

ASCO GI: CT unnecessary for staging early gastric cancer
SAN FRANCISCO - CT is unnecessary for staging gastric cancer owing to its poor sensitivity for diagnosing nodal involvement and the rarity of metastasis in patients with stage T1 disease, according to a Thursday presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2013 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.

Representative maximum-intensity projections of five patients (patients 3, 5, 7, 10, and 11) comparing Ga-68 NYM046 and F-18 FDG. Both tracers showed specific retention in bone and lymph node metastases (patients 10 and 11). Ga-68 NYM046 PET/CT outperformed F-18 FDG PET/CT in detecting primary tumors, lung metastases, and pleural metastases (patients 3, 5, 7, and 11).
