They published their study in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.November 1, 2017Clinical NewsMRI could be 'game changer' for cardiac arrest survivorsBy taking MRI measurements of the brain's functional network connectivity within two weeks after a patient experiences cardiac arrest, clinicians may be better able to predict their clinical outcomes, according to a study published online on October 18 in Radiology.November 1, 2017Clinical NewsPET, EEG show treatment effectiveness in comatose patientImagine being able to restore consciousness to a patient who has been comatose for 15 years. French researchers succeeded in accomplishing that goal, with the help of PET and electroencephalography (EEG) to confirm the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation, according to a study published online in Current Biology.October 31, 2017Clinical NewsEvidence mounts: Use macrocyclic GBCAs in pediatric MRICould macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) become the standard MRI protocol for pediatric patients? German researchers think so, after finding no measurable increase in signal intensity in key brain regions after multiple administrations in a study published in the October issue of Radiology.October 9, 2017Clinical NewsfMRI links brain disruptions to Parkinson's hallucinationsResearchers from VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam used functional MRI (fMRI) to visualize disruptions in several areas of the brain associated with attention and visual processing in people with Parkinson's disease. The findings could explain visual hallucinations in these patients, according to a paper published online on September 27 in Radiology.September 27, 2017Clinical NewsfMRI cheese study wins Ig Nobel PrizeIt isn't every day that cheese is the focal point of a functional MRI (fMRI) study, but a foray by French researchers into an area of research that is seldom -- if ever -- explored earned them an Ig Nobel Prize.September 20, 2017Clinical NewsFDG-PET/CT contributes to anal cancer follow-upGiven its high sensitivity and negative predictive value, French researchers are promoting FDG-PET/CT for its ability to assess response to treatment and redirect therapy for patients with recurrent or progressive anal cancer, in a study published in the September issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 14, 2017Molecular ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Molecular Imaging InsiderSeptember 6, 2017Clinical NewsPET with AV-1451 times tau deposits with Alzheimer's onsetUsing PET with the novel radiotracer fluorine-18-AV-1451 that binds to tau deposits, Swedish researchers have linked certain regions of the brain with the early or late onset of Alzheimer's disease and its symptoms, according to a study published in the September issue of Brain.September 6, 2017Previous PagePage 16 of 46Next PageTop StoriesCTIR study: Keep aware of hydrophilic polymer embolizationClinicians, vendors, and regulators must collaborate to prevent hydrophilic polymer embolization, an underdiagnosed complication of endovascular interventions, European interventional radiology (IR) experts have asserted.CTRadiology mourns death of Ireland’s Barry KellyArtificial IntelligenceAI improves MRI diagnosis of prostate cancerMedical, Legal, and PracticeHow can we minimize errors caused by human factors?Sponsor ContentJoin us 26 June at 6 p.m. CET for a FREE webinar!
