SPECT, PET refine contemporary cardiac amyloidosis assessment
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Experts highlighted SPECT/SPECT-CT as central to reliable cardiac amyloidosis imaging, while emerging PET tracers may improve early detection, disease characterization, and follow-up.

FAPI-PET/CT shows promise in hepatopancreatobiliary cancers
By Will Morton
FAPI-PET/CT could potentially improve noninvasive cancer staging, and, ultimately, clinical decision making.
August 13, 2026
Shown is a 69-year-old man with a cholangiocarcinoma in the distal common bile duct. F-18 FDG-PET/CT was negative where Ga-68 FAPI-46 PET/CT showed high focal FAPI uptake in the liver hilum and surrounding lymph nodes. a-d: F-18 FDG-PET/CT, e-h: Ga-68 FAPI-46 PET/CT. a, b, e, f: Maximum intensity projections, c, g: axial fusion images, d, h: non-contrast enhanced CT.

Amyloid PET scores vary with reference-region choice, Spanish study finds
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Spanish study found that the brain region used as a reference can substantially alter Centiloid scores, while whole-cerebellum normalization produced the most consistent results.

Representative amyloid PET images acquired with flutemetamol, florbetaben, and florbetapir across a range of Centiloid values.
FDG-PET/CT sharpens surveillance after colorectal liver metastasis treatment
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Dutch study found that adding metabolic imaging to contrast-enhanced CT improved early detection of local tumor progression after liver ablation or resection, including disease missed by CT alone.
July 30, 2026
Three months after thermal ablation, contrast-enhanced CT (A, B) shows post-treatment changes without clear local progression, while FDG-PET/CECT (C–F) reveals focal uptake suspicious for recurrence.
Scottish team designs 10-year sustainability model for preclinical imaging
By Claudia Tschabuschnig

SPECT/CT viable over PET/CT for high-risk prostate cancer staging
By Will Morton
Considering its broader accessibility, Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT may represent a practical alternative for primary staging.
July 24, 2026
Maximum intensity projection of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT (A), Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT (B) and Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT (C) imaging. Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT and Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT showing tracer uptake in lymph nodes below the iliac bifurcation and above, paraaortic and left supraclavicular, bone uptake in the right proximal femur and right scapula (arrows). Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT did not show any uptake suspicious for metastatic disease. No sclerotic lesions suspicious of metastases were detected by the CT component in any of the studies. Fusion axial imaging of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT (D) and Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT (E) showing uptake in lymph nodes in the left pelvic area below the iliac bifurcation (arrows). Fusion axial imaging of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT (F) and Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT (G) showing uptake in the right proximal femur, not detected by Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT (H), (arrows).
CT dose, not FDG, drives chromosome damage during PET/CT
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
The findings suggest that standard-dose CT should be reserved for clearly justified diagnostic indications.
July 22, 2026
New research suggests the CT component of PET/CT, rather than the FDG tracer, is associated with measurable chromosome damage.
