If not, researchers from imaging centers in the U.S. and the U.K. have provided their consensus recommendations on how best to proceed in a study published online September 18 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 24, 2020Molecular ImagingFET-PET offers more info on treatment of brain metastasesUsing PET with the radiolabeled amino acid F-18 fluoroethyl tyrosine (F-18 FET) can significantly help determine the efficacy of radiotherapy in certain cancer patients who develop brain metastases, according to a study published online September 4 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 13, 2020MRIHow running an MRI service is like captaining a shipRunning an MRI service is like being the captain of a ship on the ocean, according to a Friday presentation at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine virtual conference. Smooth navigation depends on effective collaboration with physicists, technologists, and other staff.August 13, 2020MRIThermal burns top FDA list of MRI adverse event reportsTen years of MRI adverse event reports show burns from coils and electrocardiography leads during scans are among the most common -- and preventable -- causes for patient injuries, according to a study presented Thursday at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine meeting.August 12, 2020Molecular ImagingFDG levels show link between Alzheimer's, Down syndromePET imaging has revealed reduced FDG uptake in key brain regions associated with early- and late-stage Alzheimer's disease among people with Down syndrome. The findings could indicate the degree of brain atrophy in individuals, as well as one reason why this patient population is susceptible to dementia.July 28, 2020Molecular ImagingSNMMI 2020: Image of the Year scans reveal 'super-agers'A group of German researchers has received the Image of the Year award from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) for a series of PET images that show that older adults who maintained peak cognitive skills exhibited greater resistance to buildup of tau and amyloid proteins.July 13, 2020Nuclear MedicineSNMMI 2020: How nuclear medicine handled COVID-19Implementing a proactive, multipronged strategy to combat the COVID-19 pandemic helped Mount Sinai Hospital safeguard its patients and staff as much as humanly possible, according to a Monday presentation at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2020 virtual annual meeting.July 13, 2020Nuclear MedicineSNMMI 2020: Medical students key to the specialty's futureThe early recruitment of medical students into nuclear medicine and molecular imaging is the key to the specialty's future, said Dr. Vasken Dilsizian during his president's address on Sunday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) virtual annual meeting.July 12, 2020Previous PagePage 2 of 239Next PageTop StoriesISMRM 2024MRI provides new insights in mild traumatic brain injuryNew MRI techniques reveal subtle tissue alterations involved in mild traumatic brain injuries and provide new insights.ISMRM 2024ISMRM: Is low-field MRI coming of age for lung imaging?ISMRM 2024ISMRM: MRI shows promise for helping to diagnose PTSDISMRM 2024ISMRM: Swiss team casts light on congenital heart diseaseSponsor ContentRegister today for a FREE webinar May 8 at 12 Noon EDT
