Would you like gadolinium with your chips?
New research has found that Coca-Cola served at McDonald's and Burger King outlets in six large German cities had trace elements of gadolinium from gadolinium-based contrast agents used in MRI scans. The levels are rising and causing growing concern, but the health risk remains low, experts say.

PET/CT predicts brain tumors in melanoma patients
By Will Morton
PET/CT scans are showing clinical promise in predicting brain metastasis in melanoma patients. Researchers from Salzburg in Austria have unveiled their latest findings.
January 4, 2024
A 49-year-old patient with primary clinical stage III melanoma underwent F-18 FDG-PET. The primary tumor Breslow thickness was 6.5 mm. On initial F-18 FDG-PET images, this patient had a high SUVmax (52), resulting in limited survival with the occurrence of brain metastasis in the first year of follow-up (horizontal arrow). Notably, during the course of the treatment, the patient underwent surgical removal of the primary tumor as well as lymph node dissection, followed by neoadjuvant radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
