Wayne Forrest[email protected]Molecular ImagingPET, MRI uncover women's predisposition to Alzheimer'sPET and MR images have revealed four significant differences in the brains of middle-aged women and men that may shed light on why females are more susceptible to Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online June 24 in Neurology.June 23, 2020Molecular ImagingNew tau PET tracer better targets source of Alzheimer'sA new PET tracer designed to improve the detection of tau deposits in key brain regions of patients suspected of Alzheimer's disease could greatly advance accurate diagnoses, according to a proof-of-concept study published in the June issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.June 9, 2020Nuclear MedicineSPECT agent could help spot DNA damage from radiotherapyResearchers from the U.K. may have developed a way to observe in vivo DNA damage a few days after treatment for neuroendocrine tumors with lutetium-177-DOTATATE, according to a proof-of-concept preclinical study published in the May issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.May 18, 2020Molecular ImagingNew PET/CT tracer reliably detects prostate cancerNuclear medicine departments now have a second reliable radiopharmaceutical to consider with PET/CT when staging for prostate cancer, according to a study in the April issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.May 12, 2020Molecular ImagingPET tracer could more precisely diagnose Alzheimer'sA new PET tracer called RO-948 could become the standard method for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, accurately differentiating the condition from other neurodegenerative diseases, according to a study published May 11 in JAMA Neurology.May 11, 2020MRIMRI shows intracranial volume changes through adulthoodMR images have revealed age-related fluctuations in the brain's intracranial volume over the course of adulthood, potentially making this information an important indicator in assessing one's health or neurological condition, according to a study published April 24 in Neuroimage.May 3, 2020Nuclear MedicineSNMMI unveils plans for virtual 2020 annual meetingDue to continued concern about the COVID-19 pandemic, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) announced on Thursday that its 2020 annual meeting will be held online July 11-14.April 29, 2020Nuclear MedicineTravel cards could help radiopharma patients avoid delaysPatients who undergo radiation treatment with lutetium-177 DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumors should receive and carry a travel card with details of their regimen to reduce unnecessary security checkpoint delays, according to an article published in the April issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.April 28, 2020Molecular ImagingMRI, PET strengthen iron, tau link to Alzheimer'sUsing MRI and PET independently, researchers have further established that there is a significant relationship between excessive iron accumulation and tau protein deposits in brain regions linked to Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online April 24 in Brain.April 27, 2020MRIfMRI adds evidence of alcohol's adverse brain effectsThe simple tapping of one's fingers, while functional MRI (fMRI) monitors brain activity, could provide insights into the adverse effects of long-term excessive alcohol consumption, according to a study published April 27 in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.April 27, 2020Previous PagePage 3 of 239Next PageTop StoriesPractice Management'Financial toxicity' screening for cancer care needs improvementScreening for "financial toxicity" in cancer care could use improvement in the U.S., according to a new review.CTOpportunistic chest CT helps predict low bone mineral densityMolecular ImagingNew guidance issued on PET/CT imaging in breast cancerDigital X-RayIMV: Hospital-based diagnostic x-ray volumes continue to declineSponsor ContentJourney to the Cloud: A Snapshot of Market Progress - May 22 @ 1pm EDT
