Hybrid imaging gives fresh hope to squamous cell carcinoma patients
April 30, 2021 -- German researchers have found FDG-PET/CT was superior to MRI and CT alone for detecting metastases in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. The early dissection of lymph node metastases may increase survival in these patients, they say. Read More
German team finds cognitive recovery can be slow in COVID-19
April 26, 2021 -- Hybrid imaging researchers from the University of Freiburg, Germany, have found that significant cognitive impairment persists in some chronic COVID-19 patients more than six months after the onset of the disease. Read More
Hybrid imaging can illuminate sports-related brain injuries
April 21, 2021 -- Swedish researchers have used PET/MRI and novel radiotracers to show long-term neurodegeneration in young athletes who have experienced sports-related concussion and traumatic brain injuries. Read More
Martí-Bonmatí urges return to face-to-face radiology training
April 13, 2021 -- Around 90% of radiology training in Valencia, Spain, is now being done face-to-face rather than online, according to Dr. Luis Martí-Bonmatí, PhD, the winner of the 2021 EuroMinnies award for Most Effective Radiology Educator. Martí-Bonmatí discusses his team's approach to training, and also shares his thoughts on books, music, and wine. Read More
Hybrid imaging proves value in staging of breast cancer
April 9, 2021 -- PET/CT is very useful in detecting axillary metastases in breast cancer patients and provides important information about the extent of axillary and extra-axillary lymph node involvement, according to researchers from Tel Aviv University. Read More
Dutch seek inspiration to boost appeal of nuclear medicine
April 5, 2021 -- How can the imaging community increase recruitment of nuclear medicine trainees and guard against future skills shortages? This question is being addressed in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Read More
German study highlights promise of radiotracer for prostate imaging
April 2, 2021 -- Investigators from the Technical University of Munich have found that an experimental radiotracer is effective when used with PET/CT for detecting biochemically recurrent prostate cancer and may change patient management. Read More
