Precancerous Breast Changes in Women with BRCA Gene Identified Using MR Spectroscopy
A Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy technique found multiple distinct premalignant changes in the biochemistry of breast tissue of women at high risk of breast cancer. The same changes were not recorded by conventional contrast-enhanced imaging 3-T Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Ultrasound. More...09 Mar 2015
Construction of Australian Nuclear Medicine Production Plant Begins
The new facility is being built as part of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation Nuclear Medicine project, and includes an investment of USD 168.8 by the Australian government. The ANM project also includes the construction of a Synroc plant for treatment of radioactive waste from the manufacture of nuclear medicines. More...09 Feb 2015
PET/CT Improves Assessment of Oesophageal Malignancy
Esophageal carcinoma is the eighth most common cancer globally. It occurs in the inside lining of the esophagus, and is diagnosed by biopsy using Endoscopic Ultrasound. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or palliative care. Radiotherapy is often used for both curative and palliative treatment. The outcomes of treatment are often poor because of late diagnosis, and can result in a 5-year survival rate of only 13%‒18%. More...03 Feb 2015
Neuroimaging Devised to Help Predict Future Behavior
A review article has focused on a number of recent studies showing that brain imaging can help predict an individual’s future learning, criminality, health-related behaviors, and response to drug or behavioral treatments. The technology may offer new strategies for customizing educational and clinical practices. More...02 Feb 2015
