Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRINovel fMRI technique illustrates autism in boysResearchers at George Washington University in Washington, DC, have developed a functional MRI (fMRI) technique that reveals what could be a valuable biomarker to evaluate brain function in boys with autism spectrum disorder.May 5, 2016Nuclear MedicineInappropriate MPI scans increase cancer risk among womenThe inappropriate use of SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in women can increase their risk of cancer from radiation compared to men, according to a study published online April 21 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.May 5, 2016Nuclear MedicineAuntMinnie.com Molecular Imaging InsiderMay 3, 2016Nuclear MedicineInappropriate SPECT MPI scans more common in womenWomen are more likely than men to have an inappropriate SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) scan, partly due to atypical symptoms, which may overestimate the true health risk to the female patient.April 27, 2016Nuclear MedicineCardiac PET/MRI protocol reduces radiation doseResearchers have developed a new cardiac PET/MRI protocol with sodium fluoride that significantly reduces radiation dose and artifacts, enhancing the view of disease activity in coronary arteries.April 20, 2016Nuclear MedicinePET obviates toxic chemo for some Hodgkin's patientsBy using FDG-PET to guide chemotherapy, oncologists can significantly increase the number of patients who go into remission and decrease the use of more toxic forms of chemotherapy in those with advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to a study published online April 11 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.April 11, 2016MRIMRI shows brain injury in nearly half of ex-NFL playersResearchers have found signs of traumatic brain injury on diffusion-tensor MR images in nearly half of a small group of retired NFL players, according to a study scheduled for presentation next week at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.April 10, 2016Nuclear MedicineRadiopharma dose varies globally for pediatric examsWhile there are guidelines for recommended radiopharmaceutical doses for pediatric nuclear medicine patients, there is still wide variability around the world in terms of how those standards are followed, according to a new report published online March 31 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.April 6, 2016MRIDTI-MRI unlocks mysteries of insomniaChinese researchers using diffusion-tensor MRI (DTI-MRI) have found abnormalities in the neural white-matter tracts of patients with insomnia, according to a study published online April 5 in Radiology.April 4, 2016Nuclear MedicineStudy: No big gender differences in nuclear MPI doseDespite some geographic variability, there are no major differences in the way nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies are performed on men and women around the world, including the amount of radiation delivered, according to a new study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.April 4, 2016Previous PagePage 86 of 239Next PageTop StoriesMRIMRI shows promise profiling hepatocellular carcinoma tumorsA study suggests that imaging-based screening with targeted pathological workup could help refine treatment strategies.Womens ImagingMRI-based DL model improves ovarian lesion classificationAIOpen-source DL model does well for identifying lung cancer riskWomens ImagingFewer Black women may be eligible for supplemental imaging for dense breastsMolecular ImagingPET/CT reliable for diagnosing fracture-related infections
