German team underlines promise of dual-tracer PET/CT in cancer cases
Researchers from University Hospital Cologne have reported in a proof-of-concept study that two PET/CT radiotracers -- F-18 FDG and gallium-68 FAPI-46 -- work better together than when used alone for cancer imaging.

Munich team uses dark-field x-ray for COVID-19 pneumonia detection
Scientists at the Technical University of Munich in Germany have reported that a prototype dark-field chest x-ray device is of potential value for diagnosing COVID-19 pneumonia. They found that dark-field imaging has a higher sensitivity than attenuation-based imaging, and that the combination of both is superior to a single modality.

Unfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicine
Nuclear medicine specialists have high career satisfaction, but unfilled vacancies and career disparities persist, finds a workforce survey by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).
Dual PET imaging in Case Two illustrates a patient with discordant disease. FDG PET (b & d) shows FDG uptake in tail of pancreas primary lesion (yellow arrow), as well as multiple hepatic metastases (yellow boxes), with enlarged liver span. DOTATATE PET on left (a) shows several hepatic metastases that do not demonstrate DOTATATE uptake above background of liver parenchyma. The liver lesions in (c) demonstrate moderate FDG uptake in liver lesions, with no corresponding DOTATATE avidity (white box) or central photopenia (white arrow). This discordance in dual PET imaging corresponds to a NETPET score of 5. This suggests de-differentiated disease and a less favorable prognosis. The patient was not suitable for Lutate treatment and received chemotherapy.
