Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIPatients at risk for NSF might be safe with certain GBCAsCould certain gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) be safe for patients undergoing an MRI scan whose stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease puts them at risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF)? In some cases, the answer is yes, according to a meta-analysis published December 9 in JAMA: Internal Medicine.December 19, 2019Nuclear MedicineZr-89 immuno-PET could help predict cancer therapy outcomesResearchers are one step closer to proving the worth of zirconium-89 (Zr-89) immuno-PET as a noninvasive approach to predict the effectiveness of therapy for cancerous tumors, according to a study published in the December issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.December 17, 2019BreastPET/MRI tops MRI in breast lesion comparisonsPET/MRI is better than MRI alone for the detection and staging of nodes and distant metastases in women with breast cancer, according to a study presented by German researchers at the recent RSNA 2019 meeting.December 12, 2019MRIAI-based model aids fMRI in ADHD detectionA newly developed deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) model is lending a helping hand to radiologists reading functional MRI (fMRI) scans, helping them better predict attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a study published online December 11 in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.December 10, 2019Molecular ImagingCan FDG-PET/MRI replace biopsy in breast cancer cases?Although FDG-PET/MRI shows promise for accurate staging of breast cancer, the modality still isn't as accurate as sentinel lymph node biopsy, according to a study presented last week at RSNA 2019 in Chicago.December 10, 2019Molecular ImagingPET and prejudice: Insurance firms' misconceptionsHealthcare insurance companies should value PET imaging and its cost-effective contributions to patient outcomes rather than view the modality as too expensive and unworthy of reimbursement, according to an editorial in the December issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.December 9, 2019Molecular ImagingAuntMinnie.com Molecular Imaging InsiderDecember 8, 2019UltrasoundABUS delivers better diagnostic performanceBoth automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and traditional handheld ultrasound can significantly improve breast cancer detection when used as an adjunct to mammography in women with dense breasts. But ABUS yields better diagnostic performance, according to research presented at RSNA 2019 in Chicago.December 8, 2019MRI7-tesla MRI adds detail to cerebral microbleedsCHICAGO - Researchers using 7-tesla MRI with susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) can discover more cerebral microbleeds in patients with diffuse axonal injury and better differentiate other anomalies than with 3-tesla SWI, according to a study presented Tuesday at RSNA 2019.December 3, 2019Molecular ImagingFDG-PET/CT within a year of heart valve surgery looks safeCHICAGO - How soon after aortic prosthetic heart valve implantation can patients safely undergo FDG-PET/CT? A study presented Tuesday at the RSNA annual meeting found that such a scan within the first 12 months is quite feasible.December 3, 2019Previous PagePage 10 of 239Next PageTop StoriesNuclear MedicineLLMs rapidly evolving in nuclear medicineLarge language models (LLMs) are widely used to handle the large volume of text data generated in nuclear medicine.MRIDWI with fat correction identifies liver scarring in MASLD patientsUltrasoundGhost scans problematic in POCUS trauma examsMolecular ImagingPSMA-PET may require selective use to be cost-effectiveSponsor ContentJoin Us!
