Survey Assesses Patients’ Understanding of Own Imaging Exams
A study by researchers at the NYU Langone Medical Center investigating patients’ knowledge of the nature of imaging exams they were about to undergo, has been published online in the April 10, 2015, issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. More...12 May 2015
Preventing Unnecessary Radiotherapy for Patients with Early-Stage Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
A new study suggested that patients with early-stage Hodgkin’s lymphoma disease, who underwent three cycles of chemotherapy with the drugs doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine, and presented negative findings from Positron-Emission Tomography, did not need additional field radiotherapy.

Innovative Technique Promises New Inroads into the Diagnosis and Management of Pain
Magnetic Resonance Neurography is emerging as a promising technique for diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal pain. The annual cost of treating chronic pain and lost productivity is more than that of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. More...19 Apr 2015
PET/CT Dramatically More Effective at Diagnosing Heart Problems Than SPECT
Results of a study that compares the effectiveness of two heart imaging technologies, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, and coronary-specific Positron Emission Tomography have been presented at the 64th American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session on March 15, 2015, in San Diego. While SPECT scans have been the primary tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease and other heart problem for many years, the use of PET/CT is now increasing. More...29 Mar 2015
