Amyloid PET scores vary with reference-region choice, Spanish study finds
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Spanish study found that the brain region used as a reference can substantially alter Centiloid scores, while whole-cerebellum normalization produced the most consistent results.

Multi-organ MRI shows no added benefit in major UK Long COVID trial
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A major UK trial found no benefit from routinely adding multi-organ MRI to specialist Long COVID care. Abnormalities were detected, but fatigue and quality of life did not improve.

FDG-PET/CT sharpens surveillance after colorectal liver metastasis treatment
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Dutch study found that adding metabolic imaging to contrast-enhanced CT improved early detection of local tumor progression after liver ablation or resection, including disease missed by CT alone.
July 30, 2026
Three months after thermal ablation, contrast-enhanced CT (A, B) shows post-treatment changes without clear local progression, while FDG-PET/CECT (C–F) reveals focal uptake suspicious for recurrence.
Scottish team designs 10-year sustainability model for preclinical imaging
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Scottish team has designed a theoretical 10-year strategy for keeping a multimodal preclinical imaging facility financially viable, operationally resilient, environmentally responsible, and accessible to researchers.

SPECT/CT viable over PET/CT for high-risk prostate cancer staging
By Will Morton
Considering its broader accessibility, Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT may represent a practical alternative for primary staging.

Maximum intensity projection of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT (A), Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT (B) and Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT (C) imaging. Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT and Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT showing tracer uptake in lymph nodes below the iliac bifurcation and above, paraaortic and left supraclavicular, bone uptake in the right proximal femur and right scapula (arrows). Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT did not show any uptake suspicious for metastatic disease. No sclerotic lesions suspicious of metastases were detected by the CT component in any of the studies. Fusion axial imaging of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT (D) and Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT (E) showing uptake in lymph nodes in the left pelvic area below the iliac bifurcation (arrows). Fusion axial imaging of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT (F) and Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT (G) showing uptake in the right proximal femur, not detected by Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT (H), (arrows).
Gender disparities persist in radiology despite progress, ESR survey finds
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Women were far more likely than men to view gender as a career disadvantage, while differences between European regions suggest opportunities for improvement.

CT dose, not FDG, drives chromosome damage during PET/CT
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
The findings suggest that standard-dose CT should be reserved for clearly justified diagnostic indications.
July 22, 2026
New research suggests the CT component of PET/CT, rather than the FDG tracer, is associated with measurable chromosome damage.
