PET-CT Identifies Ruptured and High-Risk Coronary Plaque
Scientists have discovered that the tracer 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) used with positron emission tomography-computed tomography imaging technology is the first noninvasive imaging modality to identify and localize ruptured and high-risk coronary plaque. More...09 Jan 2014
Younger, Just Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients Often Undergo Unnecessary Imaging, Staging Procedures
More than a third of younger, early-stage breast cancer patients undergo unnecessary imaging procedures, including PET, CT, nuclear medicine bone scans, and tumor markers at the time of staging and diagnosis, according to new findings. More...08 Jan 2014
Molecular Imaging Tracers Help Determine Brain Metastases Treatment Strategies
Imaging with the molecular imaging tracer 18F-FDOPA can help differentiate radiation-induced lesions from new tumor growth in patients who have been treated with radiotherapy for brain metastases, according to new research. More...17 Dec 2013
