Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIMRI suggests main reason for psychotic relapsesMR images have revealed decreased cortical thickness in people on antipsychotic drugs compared with those on placebo. But in both cases, their relapse back into psychosis may be due more to structural brain change than a lack of medication, according to a study published February 26 in JAMA Psychiatry.February 26, 2020Molecular ImagingFlortaucipir-PET, blood samples link brain injuries to CTEFlortaucipir-PET and blood tests have correlated two key biomarkers of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in military personnel who experienced traumatic brain injuries from blasts, according to a study published online on February 25 in Molecular Psychiatry.February 25, 2020MRIMRI pinpoints shoulder stiffness from rotator cuff tearsTargeting joint capsule abnormalities in the shoulder on MRI scans can help determine which patients with rotator cuff tears will have preoperative shoulder stiffness, according to a study published February 19 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.February 24, 2020MRIMRI reveals brain changes from Parkinson's diseaseAn MRI technique known as quantitative susceptibility mapping reveals that patients with Parkinson's disease have increased iron deposition in the areas of the brain that handle cognition, memory, and motor function, according to a study published February 20 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry.February 23, 2020BreastCould contrast mammo supplant CE-MRI for confirming breast cancer?Contrast-enhanced (CE) mammography might be better suited than contrast-enhanced MRI for confirming some cases of suspicious breast cancer -- especially when radiation dose-reducing protocols are used, according to a study published February 14 in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.February 20, 2020MRIAuntMinnie.com MRI InsiderFebruary 18, 2020Molecular ImagingAmyloid PET results prompt adults to rethink their futureWhen PET scans reveal elevated amyloid levels in cognitively normal older adults, the prospect of possibly progressing to Alzheimer's disease prompts many of them to reconsider their future priorities.February 17, 2020Molecular ImagingFDG-PET/CT points to cervical cancer patient outcomesSeveral indicators on pretreatment FDG-PET/CT scans can help predict overall survival in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer and para-aortic lymph node involvement. The markers could help clinicians steer patients toward more aggressive treatment, according to a February 7 study in Journal of Nuclear Medicine.February 12, 2020Molecular ImagingPET shows cardiac meds may reduce beta-amyloid buildupPatients who were on cardiovascular medications like cholesterol-lowering drugs seem to have lower levels of amyloid burden on PET scans, according to a study published February 7 in JAMA Network Open. The question is whether these findings indicate the individuals are at lower risk for Alzheimer's disease.February 11, 2020MRICould a plant virus help create a new MRI contrast agent?What's old is new for University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) researchers who are resurrecting an organic, biodegradable compound that someday might be the foundation for a nongadolinium-based MRI contrast agent, according to a preclinical study published online on February 5 in Chemical Science.February 9, 2020Previous PagePage 7 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!
