PET developer Positron has joined forces with Neusoft Medical Systems on a deal that gives Neusoft the right to distribute Positron's new PET/CT scanner in North America.

The companies will work together on Positron's new PET/CT scanner, which is based on the existing Neusoft NeuWise PET/CT system. The deal covers manufacturing, distribution, and continued R&D on the system, and the companies will work together on submitting a 510(k) application in the second quarter of 2022 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The agreement is designed to enable the companies to further develop PET/CT technology and services in nuclear cardiology, while also expanding into oncology.

F-18 FDG and Ga-68 FAPI-46 images of a 51-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth pattern in right upper lobe. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection PET images. The lesion had F-18 FDG uptake below blood pool level but was strongly Ga-68 FAPI-46-positive. CT-guided biopsy led to pathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, and the patient was treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy because of functional inoperability.

ChatGPT powered by GPT-4 and using DALL-E−3 was asked to generate an image for teaching purposes that demonstrated: a nuclear medicine bone scan with skeletal metastases (top left); coronary artery disease (top right); an F-18 FDG-PET scan of the brain with Alzheimer's disease (bottom left); and an x-ray showing a fracture (bottom right). These are misleading for educational purposes and for patients who may be searching for information. Image and caption courtesy of Radiography.

PET/MRI may improve diagnosis of Cushing disease
By Will Morton
PET/MRI could become the diagnostic method of choice over MRI alone for identifying small pituitary tumors associated with Cushing disease.
March 29, 2024
T1-weighted postgadolinium MR images (A and C) and F-18 FET-PET/MR images (B and D) centered at pituitary before (A and B) and after (C and D) transsphenoidal surgery. This patient with Cushing disease showed clear focal uptake (B) but no clear lesion on previously obtained and accompanying MRI (A). Postoperative tissue analysis did confirm resection of small pituitary adenoma/PitNET, and postoperative F-18 FET-PET showed no residual uptake (D). Image courtesy of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
