Study results were published on September 29 on medRxiv.org.October 6, 2019MRIProstate cancer patients prefer mpMRI over biopsyLow-risk prostate cancer patients who underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for active surveillance of the disease felt better about their experience than those who underwent transrectal biopsy, according to a study in the October issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.October 3, 2019MRILow-field MRI scanner has interventional advantagesA prototype low-field MRI scanner operating at 0.55 tesla had advantages compared with 1.5 tesla for interventional MRI-guided procedures, particularly for patients with implanted devices, according to a study published online October 1 in Radiology.October 2, 2019Nuclear MedicineGa-68 PSMA-11 PET interpretation criteria need workInterpretation criteria for gallium-68 (Ga-68) prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 (PSMA-11) PET with CT or MRI for prostate cancer can bolster interreader agreement, but some performance issues remain, according to a study published online September 27 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.October 1, 2019MRICan MRI of healthy brains explain head trauma damage?How can a one-time MRI scan of a healthy brain advance the current knowledge on head trauma? Researchers from four institutions plan to find out in a five-year study that will explore how age and gender relate to adverse neurobiological outcomes.September 30, 2019Nuclear MedicinePET/CT beats SPECT for neuroendocrine tumorsPET/CT performed better than planar scintigraphy or SPECT for determining which patients with neuroendocrine tumors are most likely to benefit from peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, in a study published in the September issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 26, 2019Nuclear MedicineRethinking Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT for bone metastasesResearchers from the University of California, Los Angeles say it is time to reconsider guidelines in favor of broader use of gallium-68 (Ga-68) prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 (PSMA-11) PET/CT to detect bone metastases in prostate cancer patients, based on findings in their study published September 20 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 25, 2019MRI3T MRI feasible for deep brain stimulation patientsUnder certain parameters, 3-tesla MRI scans can be performed safely on patients undergoing deep brain stimulation for neurological conditions, according to a study published in the October issue of Radiology.September 24, 2019MRIWhat can AI do to speed up cardiac MRI interpretations?Artificial intelligence (AI) can dramatically reduce the time it takes to analyze heart function on cardiac MRI scans with no significant difference in accuracy compared to human interpreters, according to a study published online September 24 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging.September 23, 2019Previous PagePage 18 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!
