FDG-PET/CT aids assessment of lower-stage breast cancer
FDG-PET/CT's ability to find a significant number of distant metastases in patients with newly diagnosed stage IIB triple-negative breast cancer suggests that current guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network for the modality's use may need to be revised.

Supine MRI in the OR can improve breast surgery outcome
Performing breast MRI in the supine position in the operating room (OR) immediately after breast conservation surgery may help surgeons better find and assess residual tumors, while patients potentially avoid follow-up surgery, according to a new study published online June 22 in Radiology.

SNMMI: FDG-PET predicts breast cancer outcomes
SAN DIEGO - FDG-PET is a considerably better predictor of treatment response and outcome than fluoride-PET for breast cancer patients with metastatic bone lesions, concluded researchers on Tuesday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference.

SNMMI: PET shows tau may be Alzheimer's catalyst
SAN DIEGO - In a comparison of PET images with three different radiotracers, German researchers found that tau deposits may be more influential in causing Alzheimer's disease than amyloid accumulation, according to results presented on Monday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) meeting.

SNMMI: PiB-PET finds unique Down syndrome trait
SAN DIEGO - Using carbon-11-labeled Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) with PET, researchers have tracked an unusual increase in beta-amyloid plaque in the striatum region of the brain among people with Down syndrome, according to a study presented on Sunday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting.
