Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIDTI-MRI opens window to effects of repetitive head traumaMonday, November 30 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSC08-04 | Room N226Using diffusion-tensor MRI (DTI-MRI), researchers have found significant changes in white-matter abnormalities that may indicate differences in brain microstructures between men and women and how they respond to repetitive head trauma.November 4, 2015MRIDTI-MRI helps determine cognitive outcomes for concussed patientsMonday, November 30 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSC08-03 | Room N226In this talk, researchers will discuss how measuring radial diffusivity with diffusion-tensor MRI (DTI-MRI) could become a valuable biomarker for determining how well patients will recover from mild traumatic brain injury.November 4, 2015Nuclear MedicinePET/CT predicts stem cell transplant success in lymphomaThe presence of lesions on FDG-PET/CT scans prior to stem cell transplantation can help predict survival for patients with aggressive lymphomas, according to a study published in the November issue of Radiology.October 28, 2015MRIMRI detects gender differences in aging of the heartUsing cardiac MRI, researchers have found that the mass of the left ventricle changes differently over time in men and women, potentially necessitating more gender-based treatment approaches to maintain heart health, according to a paper published online October 20 in Radiology.October 20, 2015Nuclear MedicineFDG-PET predicts survival in Parkinsonian syndromeFDG-PET strongly predicts overall survival in patients suspected of having early-stage atypical Parkinsonian syndrome, according to a study in the October Journal of Nuclear Medicine. The modality's findings closely matched clinical diagnosis at one-year follow-up.October 14, 2015Nuclear MedicineAdvocates for NaF-PET plan rebound from CMS decisionIn a word, "disappointment" is how members of the nuclear medicine and radiology communities are reacting to last month's rejection by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of a proposal to loosen restrictions on reimbursement for sodium fluoride (NaF) PET scans to detect bone metastases.October 7, 2015MRIfMRI shows age influences recovery time from TBIMany older patients recover more slowly from concussions than younger individuals, based on different brain activation patterns seen on functional MRI (fMRI) scans. The study results, published online October 6 in Radiology, suggest that mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) may have a more profound and lasting effect among older people.October 5, 2015Nuclear MedicineSNMMI rejects plan to dissolve ABNMThe Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's (SNMMI) board of directors has unanimously rejected a proposal to dissolve the American Board of Nuclear Medicine (ABNM) and fold its functions and training programs into the American Board of Radiology.October 1, 2015Nuclear MedicinePerma-Fix advances Tc-99m production technologyConcern over the future supply of medical isotopes in the wake of recent worldwide shortages and aging nuclear reactors has spawned a kind of cottage industry among entrepreneurs. One such firm is Perma-Fix Medical, which is developing a method for producing technetium-99m (Tc-99m) that does not require uranium.October 1, 2015MRINovel breast MRI technique could reduce biopsy rateA shorter noncontrast-enhanced breast MRI protocol might help reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies by gathering additional information about suspicious lesions found on screening mammography while cutting scanning times, according to a new study published online September 29 in Radiology.September 29, 2015Previous PagePage 96 of 239Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalGAE reduces pain biomarkers in knee osteoarthritisGenicular artery embolization (GAE) significantly reduces key biomarkers that drive pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Residents/FellowsRace, ethnicity influence educational debt among radiology-bound MDsMRIMRI, CT findings correlate for assessing epicardial fat volumePractice ManagementImaging experts hope NSA enforcement bill delivers on accountabilityCTPET/CT identifies bone demineralization in breast cancer patients
