Wayne Forrest[email protected]Nuclear MedicinePET/MRI motion correction gives readers more confidenceA motion correction algorithm applied to PET/MRI scans resulted in more accurate scans with fewer false positives, and readers were more confident in their interpretations, according to study results published in the September issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.October 1, 2018MRIDo inpatient body MRI scans prove their worth?An internal review of inpatient body MRI scans by clinicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center showed room for improvement in a number of key performance areas, according to a study published online September 24 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.September 30, 2018Nuclear MedicineFDG-PET/CT helps stage men with breast cancer, tooAssessing breast cancer in men is an uncommon clinical use for FDG-PET/CT, but the hybrid modality achieves results comparable to those in women in regard to accurate staging of the disease, according to a study published online September 21 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 25, 2018MRIEarly MRI aids in prognosis for severe TBIBy performing an MRI scan soon after traumatic brain injury (TBI), clinicians can more quickly gather prognostic information based on the type and specific location of the injury, according to a study by researchers from Saudi Arabia and published in the Journal of Affected Disorders.September 24, 2018Nuclear MedicineGa-68 PSMA-11 PET/MRI advances prostate cancer detectionPET/MRI scans with a gallium-68 (Ga-68)-labeled radiopharmaceutical that homes in on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 could become a mainstay in prostate cancer detection, given its ability to significantly outperform multiparametric MRI alone, according to a study published online September 18 in Radiology.September 24, 2018Nuclear MedicineFlortaucipir-PET targets tau for Alzheimer's diagnosesBy binding to the tau protein associated with Alzheimer's, PET imaging with the tracer flortaucipir can distinguish between the disease and other neurodegenerative conditions with similar symptoms, according to an international study published in the September 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.September 20, 2018MRI7T fMRI, AI illustrate how memories help with daily activitiesCould it simply be déjà vu all over again? In a study published online September 19 in Neuron, European researchers used 7-tesla functional MRI (fMRI) scans and artificial intelligence (AI) to determine how the brain connects with a person's memory and past experiences to solve daily problems.September 20, 2018MRIAuntMinnie.com MRI InsiderSeptember 18, 2018Nuclear MedicineDelayed NaF-PET enhances coronary plaque detectionIn life, timing is everything. With sodium fluoride (NaF) PET, interpreting results three hours after tracer injection instead of the customary one-hour delay improved image quality and standardized uptake values, leading to significantly better coronary plaque detection, according to a September 13 article in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 17, 2018Nuclear MedicinePET/CT makes case for directing cervical cancer treatmentCan FDG-PET/CT be used to direct the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer by determining which patients should receive more extensive chemoradiation therapy or palliative care? Maybe, but findings from a new study published online September 14 in JAMA Network Open are equivocal.September 14, 2018Previous PagePage 42 of 239Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET tracer shows promise in patients with neuroblastomaThe PET tracer performed better than standard SPECT imaging with iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine.CTISCT: 2022 ICM shortage was a 'wake-up call.'
