Kate Madden Yee[email protected]Molecular ImagingPET/MRI boosts cancer detectionPET/MRI helps clinicians stage cancer treatment as well as PET/CT -- and finds more than 25% additional cancers, according to a study published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. It also reduces overall radiation exposure.September 16, 2020Molecular ImagingPET shows promise for detecting NSCLC recurrenceF-18 FDG PET/CT shows promise for detecting recurrence of disease in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after they've undergone surgery, according to a study published September 9 in General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.September 16, 2020Molecular ImagingPET agent shows promise for imaging lung inflammationAn experimental PET imaging agent shows promise for imaging inflammation in the lungs -- which could have implications for a range of common diseases, including COVID-19, according to results from an animal study published in Redox Biology.September 15, 2020Molecular ImagingPET helps diagnose treatable form of dementiaPET imaging could be a useful tool for diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, a form of dementia that can be treated surgically, according to a literature review published September 7 in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.September 15, 2020MRIAI reduces no-shows for MRI examsArtificial intelligence (AI) can help reduce the no-show rate for MRI exams, according to a study published September 10 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.September 10, 2020MRI15% of athletes have myocarditis after COVID-19 recoveryCardiac MRI scans showed that 15% of competitive athletes who had recovered from COVID-19 disease had signs of myocarditis on their images, according to a study published September 11 in JAMA Cardiology.September 10, 2020Molecular ImagingPET radiomics tailor head/neck cancer treatmentRadiomic factors -- that is, image-based tumor phenotypes -- gleaned from F-18 FDG PET exams can help clinicians personalize care and better predict treatment outcomes for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, according to a study published September 7 in EJNMMI Research.September 9, 2020CTAre clinicians ordering CT lung screening too often?Referring providers are ordering CT lung cancer screening exams for individuals who don't meet established clinical guidelines for the tests, according to a study published September 6 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.September 9, 2020CTACC recommends CCTA as first evaluation for CADCoronary CT angiography (CCTA) can be used as a first-line evaluation for coronary artery disease (CAD), according to a report by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) published September 7 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.September 8, 2020CTCT shows COVID-19 causes lingering lung damageSix-week follow-up CT exams of patients with COVID-19 show lingering damage to lung tissue in 88% of patients who were hospitalized, according to a presentation delivered September 7 at the virtual European Respiratory Society International Congress.September 8, 2020Previous PagePage 88 of 356Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET/CT reliable for diagnosing fracture-related infectionsPET/CT identified infections in almost half of patients.CTCT distinguishes between accidental and abusive head trauma in infantsWomens ImagingMammography has role in diagnosing pregnancy-associated breast cancerPractice ManagementThe 2026 MPFS Proposed Rule may include some good newsMolecular ImagingAmyloid PET scans validated in racially diverse patients
