SPECT leads for cardiac imaging of obese patients
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 28 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSE16-05 | Room S505ABIn this study from Brazil, researchers found that SPECT can overcome inherent limitations of other imaging modalities in myocardial perfusion imaging of obese patients. The findings are particularly important given that overweight people are at greater risk for adverse cardiac events.

PET offers important information for prostate cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, November 27 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA16-06 | Room S505ABEven though PET imaging with fluorocholine or sodium fluoride provides different information on patients with prostate cancer, either PET option appears to be better than CT for assessing the extent of active metastatic skeletal disease.
