PEM performs well against breast MRI, whole-body PET
By
Wayne Forrest
WASHINGTON - Positron emission mammography (PEM) was comparable to breast MRI and outdueled whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) in a pilot study to determine which modality was most helpful in preoperative surgical planning. The results were presented Tuesday at the 2007 SNM annual meeting.

Patients show slight preference for MR colonography over colonoscopy
By
Eric Barnes
Most patients who underwent MR colonography (MRC) and optical colonoscopy preferred MRI, according to a new study by researchers from Essen, Germany, and Atlanta, GA. When the patients were questioned about which colorectal screening test they'd rather have in the future, however, MR's advantage dwindled.

Molecular imaging, nuclear medicine share spotlight at SNM 2007
By
Wayne Forrest
WASHINGTON - It will be virtually impossible to discuss nuclear medicine and exclude molecular imaging from the discussion at this week's SNM meeting. Molecular imaging will help revolutionize patient care, with improved ways to diagnose, treat, and manage cancer and other diseases, and focusing exclusively on nuclear medicine without incorporating other imaging modalities would limit the understanding of how diseases will be diagnosed and treated in the future, according to speakers at Sunday's opening presentation.

Duke researchers combine DR tomosynthesis with 3D CAD
By
Brian Casey
The use of radiography to detect lung disease has been eclipsed in recent years by CT, which offers improved spatial resolution and the ability to find smaller tumors at an earlier stage. But a group from Duke University in Durham, NC, hopes to make radiography competitive again with the use of digital x-ray tomosynthesis and a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm.
