Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIMRI tumor features help predict breast cancer recurrenceCertain tumor features as seen on contrast-enhanced breast MRI may be predictive of breast cancer recurrence, potentially helping clinicians assess prognosis and determine the most appropriate treatment, according to a study from the University of Pennsylvania.January 15, 2013Nuclear MedicineFrequent PET/CT may boost cancer risk in eye melanoma patientsCalifornia researchers are warning that eye melanoma patients who receive "aggressive" CT or PET/CT scans to monitor spread of the disease are at greater risk for developing a secondary malignant tumor. Their findings were published in the January issue of JAMA Ophthalmology.January 9, 2013MRIBrain fMRI shows negative effect of fructose on eating habitsUsing functional MRI (fMRI), Yale University researchers may have uncovered one of the keys to the obesity epidemic: that ingestion of fructose changes brain activity in regions that regulate appetite and produce feelings of being full. Study results were published in the January 2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.January 2, 2013MRIMRI can detect breast cancer in average-risk womenA study by German researchers shows MRI screening can help detect breast cancer in women who are only at average risk of developing the disease and have no personal or family history of breast cancer.January 1, 2013MRIAuntMinnie.com MRI InsiderDecember 26, 2012MRIMRI helpful but not perfect for evaluating pancreatic cancerUnderstanding how contrast-enhanced MRI underestimates tumor size compared to pathologic specimens may allow more precise assessment of tumor volume prior to radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer, according to researchers from Emory University.December 26, 2012Nuclear MedicineC-11 choline PET/MRI helps restage prostate cancer patientsA preliminary study by German researchers suggests that carbon-11 (C-11) choline PET/MRI may provide an alternative imaging modality to PET/CT for restaging of prostate cancer by offering equal, if not better, diagnostic performance and less radiation exposure.December 25, 2012Molecular ImagingFDG-PET/CT shines in assessing distant cancersWhole-body FDG-PET/CT offers "excellent diagnostic performance" in the assessment of distant malignancies in patients with head and neck, breast, and lung cancers, according to a new study in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.December 20, 2012MRIMRI software predicts stroke complications from clot bustersResearchers from Johns Hopkins University have developed new MRI software that may help predict and reduce the risk of complications from clot-dissolving drugs used to treat stroke, according to a study published online December 20 in PLOS One.December 19, 2012Molecular ImagingAuntMinnie.com Molecular Imaging InsiderDecember 19, 2012Previous PagePage 136 of 239Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalDoes advanced imaging in stroke patients improve outcomes?Conventional or advanced imaging selection of EVT patients did not result in significant differences in 90-day clinical outcomes.CTSafety concerns lead to suspension of CT service at Belgian hospitalCTCentrally located lung cancer may lead to poor patient outcomesCTVideo: Perry Pickhardt on CTC, the 'best kept secret in medicine'Molecular ImagingExperts issue appropriate use criteria for molecular breast imaging
