FDG-PET outshines SPECT for Alzheimer's disease
By Wayne Forrest
British researchers recommend FDG-PET over perfusion SPECT to diagnose and differentiate Alzheimer's disease from dementia with Lewy bodies after the hybrid modality proved its "significant superiority" in a study published online November 5 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

SNMMI: Mo-99 supply issues still shape nuclear medicine
By Wayne Forrest
The tenuous supply of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) in recent years has resulted in a double-digit price increase at many nuclear medicine facilities across the U.S., as well as the canceling or rescheduling of appointments and fewer after-hours exams.

ASNC: Should nuclear technologists read SPECT MPI scans?
By Wayne Forrest
BOSTON - Nuclear medicine technologists were nearly as accurate as cardiologists in reading stress-first SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies, according to research presented at the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) meeting. The study hints at a role for technologists in determining which patients could avoid the rest portion of the scans.

Ultralow-dose SPECT provides top image quality, less radiation
By Wayne Forrest
With an eye toward lowering radiation exposure, a group of researchers found that an ultralow-dose high-efficiency SPECT scan for myocardial perfusion imaging can achieve better image quality than standard low-dose SPECT, according to a study published in the September Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Moments in Radiology History: Part 16 -- Early nuclear medicine
By Otha Linton
After early efforts began to harness the power of x-rays for diagnosis and therapy, some physicians and physicists chose to focus instead on the development of radioactive isotopes. In his latest Moments in Radiology History installment, radiology historian Otha Linton examines the advances that ultimately led to the field of nuclear medicine.
