PET tracer may aid diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease
Researchers have used a new PET tracer to identify areas of inflammation in the colon in mice. The technique could eventually be able to improve the visualization and diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in humans, according to an article published in the June issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

MRA tops CTA for pulmonary embolism evaluation
MR angiography (MRA) may have an edge over CT angiography (CTA) for diagnosing pulmonary embolism due to its reduced risk of radiation and adverse events, according to a pair of articles by Wisconsin researchers published online in Emergency Radiology and the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Risk-based CT lung screening could be more efficient
Performing CT lung cancer screening based on an individual's cancer risk rather than one-size-fits-all guidelines could be a more efficient way to figure out who needs screening, according to a May 14 article in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Four risk models, in particular, seem to stand out from the rest.
