Dutch use molecular scan to find new salivary glands
October 30, 2020 -- A group from the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam has used PET/CT with a radiopharmaceutical based on a prostate-specific membrane antigen to discover a pair of salivary glands. Sparing these glands during radiation therapy may prevent treatment side effects and improve quality of life for head and neck cancer patients.

Discuss COVID-19 detection training tool gains momentum
October 29, 2020 -- A free app designed to train medical imaging professionals in COVID-19 case recognition is making progress. While other apps exist, users of the BerlinCaseViewer app have access to all the CT slices they would have on their workstations in normal clinical practice, the developers say.

Discuss Dynamic PET edges closer to clinical prime time
October 27, 2020 -- Dynamic whole-body PET is evolving fast and showing considerable clinical promise, a leading French molecular imaging expert told the opening plenary session at the annual congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine. The technique is benefiting from artificial intelligence-based assistance to simplify the challenging and time-consuming tasks associated with the acquisition and analysis of data.

Discuss What effect does fatigue have on reading breast scans?
October 26, 2020 -- U.K. researchers have found that increased blinking -- often a key indicator of visual fatigue -- occurs after examining 20 digital breast tomosynthesis cases. Taking a break after 20 reports may help to eliminate mistakes, they suggest.
