FDG-PET adds to gallium-68 scans for neuroendocrine tumors

By Wayne Forrest

Follow-up FDG-PET scans can determine which patients with neuroendocrine tumors are suffering from progression of their disease and which of them would benefit from a change in therapy, according to an Austrian study published in the August issue of the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.

Ultrasound eases drug delivery to the brain

By Tami Freeman, PhD

Brain diseases are notoriously difficult to treat due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a protective layer of cells limiting the delivery of most drugs into the brain. One promising approach for BBB disruption combines pulsed ultrasound with injected microbubbles.
