Results of the study were published online on 30 October in Investigative Radiology.November 8, 2018Clinical NewsAuntMinnieEurope.com Molecular Imaging InsiderOctober 10, 2018Clinical NewsPET/CT rivals CT for NSCLC recurrenceSwiss researchers have found that FDG-PET/CT is "not superior" to contrast-enhanced CT in the detection and evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) recurrence two years after follow-up curative treatment. Their study was published online on 4 October in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery.October 10, 2018Clinical NewsDedicated breast PET falls short for BI-RADS 4 lesionsSpanish researchers testing a dedicated breast PET scanner found it had a high false-negative rate for detecting in situ carcinomas in women with BI-RADS 4 lesions. The finding raises questions about the suitability of the system for working up suspicious breast lesions, according to a 3 October study.October 8, 2018Clinical NewsDon't rely on FDG-PET/CT for peripheral T-cell lymphoma outcomesFDG-PET/CT won't help much in predicting progression-free or overall survival among patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, according to an Israeli study published in the October issue of Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia.October 7, 2018Clinical NewsMotion correction model could aid PET/MRI lesion detectionResearchers from the U.K. and Australia are reporting early success with a PET/MRI-based motion correction model that, so far, has significantly improved the detection of cancer, according to a study published in the September issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.October 1, 2018Clinical NewsItalians identify key PET marker for memory problemsItalian researchers may have discovered a reliable clinical marker that links levels of amyloid deposits in the brain with increased episodic memory impairment through florbetaben-PET imaging, according to a 22 September study in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.September 27, 2018Clinical NewsU.K. group's fast cardiac MRI protocol passes test in PeruA fast-scanning cardiac MRI protocol first developed and tested in the U.K. has been successfully used in Peru, according to research published on 29 August. Researchers believe the study proves the technique is well-suited for providing cardiac MRI in developing countries.September 2, 2018Clinical NewsNew protocol enables faster, cheaper cardiac MRI scansResearchers have developed a rapid contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI protocol that can measure structure, function, and scarring in the heart in less than 20 minutes and at considerably lower cost than standard MRI protocols, according to results published on August 29 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.August 29, 2018Clinical NewsAuntMinnieEurope.com Molecular Imaging InsiderAugust 27, 2018Previous PagePage 10 of 46Next PageTop StoriesCTRadiology mourns death of Ireland’s Barry KellyTributes are being paid to Prof. Barry Kelly, an important figure in Irish radiology who played a central role in designing and implementing the ESR’s audit scheme and the European Diploma of Radiology.Artificial IntelligenceAI improves MRI diagnosis of prostate cancerHomeHow can we minimize errors caused by human factors?CTNew advice issued on cardiac CT for prosthetic heart valvesSponsor ContentJoin us 26 June at 6 p.m. CET for a FREE webinar!
