PET radiomics tailor head/neck cancer treatment
By Kate Madden Yee
Radiomic factors -- that is, image-based tumor phenotypes -- gleaned from F-18 FDG PET exams can help clinicians personalize care and better predict treatment outcomes for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, according to a study published September 7 in EJNMMI Research.

Transcranial ultrasound helps solve COVID-19 mystery
By Theresa Pablos
Ultrasound scans with a robotic transcranial Doppler device provided a clue into why patients with COVID-19 experience severe hypoxemia without lung stiffness. In a serendipitous discovery, researchers linked the ultrasound findings to suspiciously low oxygen levels in patients with severe cases of COVID-19.
