Presurgical SPECT/CT Imaging for Breast Cancer Reveals More Tumors Than Lymphoscintigraphy
Surprising findings from an international multicenter trial provide mounting evidence that sentinel node imaging is more effectively performed with hybrid functional imaging using SPECT/CT than with another molecular imaging technique, the current standard, lymphoscintigraphy. More...24 Jun 2014
PET/MR Found Best Imaging Modality for Detecting Coronary Arterial Disease
The hybrid molecular imaging technique called PET/MR imaging, which provides vital data about cardiac and arterial function, has been found to be an effective molecular imaging tool for detecting coronary artery disease, according to a recent study. More...23 Jun 2014
Taipei University to Install Proton Treatment Center
New technology enables intensity-modulated proton therapy by modifying dose levels on a spot-by-spot basis throughout the treatment area. Scanning beam technology makes it possible to combine irradiations from multiple angles in an optimal manner to improve control of dose distributions. More...19 Jun 2014
Patient-Friendly PET/CT System Provides Very Large Bore, Wide Field-of-View, and Fast Imaging
A versatile new PET/CT system combines high performance PET and CT for all radiation and oncology imaging requirements, including tumor detection, treatment evaluation, and CT simulation. More...18 Jun 2014
Molecular Breast Imaging Strategy Reveals More Tumors
Patients with advanced breast cancer that may have metastasized to their lymph nodes could be helped with a stronger dose of a molecular imaging agent called Tc-99m filtered sulfur colloid when undergoing lymphoscintigraphy, a functional imaging approach that searches for new tumors as they begin to metastasize.
