From lab to clinic: How AI can help
Clinical trials are an important checkpoint in moving therapies from the lab to the clinic, and artificial intelligence (AI) software can help researchers and clinicians reach their goals in several ways, according to a new article by U.K. market research firm Signify Research.

Advanced visualization and the cloud that never formed
Recent hype about cloud technology has yet to materialize in clinical and diagnostic healthcare IT, especially when it comes to advanced visualization (AV). Why haven't more healthcare providers moved their AV solutions to the cloud? Ulrik Kristensen, PhD, from Signify Research examines this question.

Is virtual reality in radiology becoming a reality?
Virtual reality is by no means a new technology, but recent developments have given it new life, enabling it to spread from gaming and consumer markets into industries such as manufacturing and healthcare. Will the healthcare move be hard? Ulrik Kristensen of Signify Research offers a perspective.

A 68Ga-RCC78 PET scan (C) of a patient four years post-radical right nephrectomy. During follow-up, new nodules were detected in the left adrenal gland and kidney. CAIX-targeted scan clearly visualized metastatic lesions in the mediastinum, pancreas, adrenal gland, and kidney (SUVmax > 30), demonstrating the tracer's ability to maintain high tumor uptake despite significantly reduced abdominal background.

SNMMI: Low-cost absorbents clear over 90% of Lu-177 from wastewater
(Left) F-18 GP1 PET/CT images from a 75-year-old woman show multiple blood clots in the deep veins of the left leg (from the thigh to the calf), as well as several clots in the right calf. Venous ultrasound confirms blood clots in left thigh, knee and calf veins. PET/CT also detects clots in both lungs, which are confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT image. (Right) 18F-GP1 PET/CT images from a 70-year-old woman show widespread blood clots throughout the body. In addition to clots in the deep veins of both legs and the arteries of both lungs (A), the scan also detected unexpected clots in several other areas, including blood vessels near the skull/head (B), spine (C), heart (D), and pelvis (E). Further evaluation revealed that the patient had antiphospholipid syndrome, an autoimmune condition that increases the risk of abnormal blood clot formation.
