Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIDWI-MRI predicts stroke recurrence in low-risk patientsA diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI-MRI) brain sequence can confirm the presence of acute stroke within a few days after low-risk stroke patients present with seemingly minor symptoms, according to an international six-year study published September 23 in JAMA Neurology.September 23, 2019Radiation Oncology/TherapyASTRO: Radiation can nix side effects of T-cell therapyPatients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who received radiation 30 days or less before chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy have a lower risk of side effects from the treatment, according to a study presented this week at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting in Chicago.September 19, 2019Radiation Oncology/TherapyASTRO: Radiation therapy can calm rapid heart rhythmJust one high dose of radiation to the heart can significantly reduce episodes of ventricular tachycardia, an irregular rapid heart rhythm that can be deadly, according to a study presented this week at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting in Chicago.September 18, 2019MRIFast MRI technique benefits kids with head traumaUsing a "fast" MR technique instead of CT for imaging clinically stable pediatric patients with a suspected traumatic brain injury can accurately diagnose them without sedation or exposure to radiation, according to a study published September 18 in Pediatrics.September 17, 2019Molecular ImagingFET-PET can be useful for glioma evaluationsWhen glioma results are inconclusive on MRI, clinicians should consider fluoroethyl-tyrosine (FET)-PET for more definitive results and to differentiate between tumor progression and treatment improvement, according to a study published online September 13 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 17, 2019MRIProScan accused of submitting fraudulent MRI claimsA whistleblower lawsuit has alleged that Cincinnati-based imaging services provider ProScan submitted thousands of reimbursement claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare for MRI interpretations that were performed by physician assistants instead of radiologists.September 16, 2019MRIAdvanced MRI technique confirms dementia riskU.K. researchers have developed a unique diffusion-tensor MR imaging algorithm to identify which patients with stroke-related small-vessel disease could progress to cognitive decline and possible dementia, according to a study published online September 12 in Stroke.September 11, 2019Nuclear MedicinePET, MRI link amyloid plaque with swift declinePatients whose PET and MR images show beta-amyloid plaque accumulation in the brain experience a significantly faster path toward dementia than people with vascular dementia and no plaque deposits, according to a study published online September 11 in Neurology.September 11, 2019Nuclear MedicineGa-68 PSMA PET/MRI, mpMRI work for prostate cancer analysisProstate cancer patients at intermediate or high risk of advanced disease can benefit from either gallium-68 (Ga-68) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/MRI or multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) alone to diagnose specific features of their disease, according to a study published September 10 in Radiology.September 11, 2019MRIMS patients show signs of gadolinium retention on MRISeeing is believing for Italian researchers who used MRI to visually confirm evidence of gadolinium retention in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Their study included patients who had undergone several MRI scans with a gadolinium-based contrast agent. The findings were published September 4 in Insights into Imaging.September 9, 2019Previous PagePage 19 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!
