Wayne Forrest[email protected]Clinical NewsPET/MRI offers 'powerful' option for unknown primary cancerPET/MRI is just as proficient as PET/CT in detecting primary cancer and metastases from an unknown primary tumor, making PET/MRI a "powerful alternative" with significantly less exposure of patients to ionizing radiation, according to a German study in the European Journal of Radiology.September 19, 2016Molecular ImagingCMR, scintigraphy do more to prevent unnecessary angiographyWhen physicians craft treatment plans for patients with suspected angina based on cardiovascular MRI (CMR) and SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging results, the chance of unnecessary angiographies is much less than if care is based on tried-and-tested guidelines, according to U.K. researchers.September 18, 2016Clinical NewsPET/MRI's future tied to cost, scan time, key applicationsBuoyed by its perceived superiority over PET/CT, early adopters of PET/MRI believe the hybrid modality could be used more often in routine clinical applications within the next five years. However, this trajectory could hit a speed bump.August 31, 2016Industry NewsIBA Molecular to buy Mallinckrodt's nuclear medicine businessRadiopharmacy vendor IBA Molecular has signed an agreement to acquire Mallinckrodt's nuclear imaging business in a deal valued at $690 million.August 23, 2016Molecular ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Molecular Imaging InsiderJuly 20, 2016Clinical NewsFDG-PET adds to gallium-68 scans for neuroendocrine tumorsFollow-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.July 20, 2016Clinical NewsVery low calcium scores do not guarantee negative MPISymptomatic patients with very low coronary artery calcium scores are almost as likely to have a positive SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) scan and a subsequent cardiac event as patients with higher calcium scores, according to a study presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging annual meeting.July 13, 2016Clinical NewsCombo MRI scans show how stomach tells brain it's fullBy combining anatomic MR images of the stomach with functional MR images of brain activity, Dutch researchers have shown how the stomach tells the brain it's full during a meal -- and how drinking more water can alter this communication channel.July 12, 2016Clinical NewsfMRI software falls short of expectationsAn extensive analysis of software commonly used for functional MRI (fMRI) has found false-positive rates of up to 70%, which may have adversely influenced the results of thousands of neuroimaging examinations, according to a Swedish/U.K. study.July 10, 2016Clinical NewsBrain MRI surprises with incidental findingsNearly 10% of patients receiving a brain MRI have incidental findings, and a third of those require further evaluation for the unexpected abnormalities, according to a large Dutch study published online in Radiology.July 3, 2016Previous PagePage 21 of 46Next PageTop StoriesUltrasoundForeign body imaging: X-ray overused, ultrasound underusedUltrasound is an effective modality for detecting radiolucent foreign bodies, but it's being underused compared with x-ray, U.K. musculoskeletal researchers have found.CTIR study: Keep aware of hydrophilic polymer embolizationCTRadiology 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?
