FDG-PET/CT scoring system aids in cervical cancer prognosis

With the help of an established five-point scoring system to assess metabolic response to chemoradiotherapy on FDG-PET/CT scans, U.K. researchers can more appropriately treat and better predict outcomes for patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma.

No signal intensity for pediatric patients with macrocyclic GBCA

German researchers have found additional evidence that the use of a macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) for MRI scans does not increase signal intensity in the dentate nucleus. The new findings come from a study of pediatric patients published online in Radiology.

FDG-PET/CT can direct biopsies for pediatric cancer

FDG-PET/CT can play a valuable role in directing image-guided biopsies of pediatric cancer patients, given its ability to detect and discern between malignant and benign regions, according to a study by a group from Saudi Arabia and Canada published in the March issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Group calls for global research effort into gadolinium

Two European researchers are forging ahead with their proposal to collect clinical experiences and outcomes with gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and store the information in a worldwide database. The ultimate goal is to further advance research into GBCA safety, as outlined in the January issue of Radiology.
