FDG-PET/CT, MRI can help assess stem cell transplant response
By Wayne Forrest
CHICAGO - While FDG-PET/CT may be more suitable for early response detection of bone involvement after stem cell transplantation, whole-body MRI can be an "additional predictive marker" for long-term evaluation, according to a study presented Sunday at the RSNA annual meeting.

F-18 choline PET/CT outpaces whole-body MRI in recurrent prostate cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, November 28 | 12:05 p.m.-12:15 p.m. | SSA18-09 | Room S505ABPreliminary results of an Italian study show that while whole-body MRI did not match accuracy levels of F-18 choline PET/CT in detecting the local recurrence of prostate cancer, whole-body MRI is still a promising tool in restaging patients with the disease.

How does FDG-PET compare to whole-body MRI in lymphoma disease?
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, November 28 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA18-04 | Room S505ABItalian researchers will answer that question at RSNA 2010 in Chicago, when they present their study results showing that whole-body MRI is fast and feasible for staging and restaging lymphoma disease; however, the modality falls short in matching the accuracy of FDG-PET/CT.
