Wayne Forrest[email protected]Clinical NewsDTI-MRI reveals alcohol damage to brain after abstinenceWith the assistance of diffusion-tensor MR imaging (DTI-MRI), researchers from Spain and Germany have found evidence that damage to the brain's white matter continues even after men who consume copious amounts of alcohol have stopped drinking, according to a study published online on 3 April in JAMA Psychiatry.April 2, 2019Clinical NewsPET/MRI study links inflammation to atherosclerosisIn a novel study that tracked employees at a Spanish bank, researchers used PET/MRI to detect signs of atherosclerotic disease and inflammation in arterial regions that had not yet developed plaques. The finding could provide an early biomarker of future risk of heart attack and stroke.March 25, 2019Molecular ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Molecular Imaging InsiderMarch 24, 2019Genitourinary RadiologyGa-68 PMSA PET/CT tops for prostate cancer recurrencePET/CT with the radiopharmaceutical gallium-68 (Ga-68) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) should be the choice over whole-body-MRI for detecting prostate cancer recurrence after radical prostatectomy, a German group advocates in a study published by the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.March 24, 2019Clinical NewsNew PET tracers show immense promise in cancer imagingResearchers from the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg have reported that two new radiotracers achieved substantially shorter image acquisition times than FDG-PET scans and required no fasting or dietary changes in a new study in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. This may give a timely boost to cancer detection, they say.March 21, 2019NeuroradiologyFrench team measures iron content to show impact of strokeIn groundbreaking research, a group from Bordeaux, France, has used a basic MRI method to measure iron content in the substantia nigra to obtain a better reading on how stroke affects the brain and long-term patient outcomes. The results were published online on March 12 in Radiology.March 13, 2019Clinical News7T MRI could aid glioma treatment assessmentUsing 7-tesla MRI to image the brains of glioma patients, German researchers have correlated the protein content of those tumors with patient response to treatment and likelihood of survival, according to a study published online on 26 February in European Radiology.March 5, 2019Clinical NewsMRI links brain activity to 'broken heart' syndromeMRI results support a link between reduced communication in brain regions that process emotion and control the unconscious workings of the body and the development of a "broken heart," according to a study published online on 5 March in the European Heart Journal.March 5, 2019ConferenceGadolinium breast MRI screening OK for healthy womenVIENNA - Healthy women at high risk for developing breast cancer should have little or no concern about undergoing multiple MRI screenings with macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents, according to a study presented on Sunday, the final day of ECR 2019.March 2, 2019ConferenceDTI-MRI shows drinking affects young men and women differentlyVIENNA - Using diffusion-tensor MRI (DTI-MRI), researchers found changes in frontal white-matter integrity in the brains of men who consumed excessive amounts of alcohol in their early teens, according to a study presented on Saturday at ECR 2019.March 1, 2019Previous PagePage 7 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!
