PET Scans Might Allow Early Prediction of Response to Targeted Therapy of Thyroid Cancer
Positron emission tomography can image metabolic changes following treatment with the protein kinase inhibitor vandetanib, helping to define the therapy response or the effectiveness of the agent. More...16 Feb 2011
Molecular Imaging Can Identify Biomarker Linked with Alzheimer's Disease
Preliminary research suggests that use of a type of molecular imaging procedure may have the ability to detect the presence of beta-amyloid in the brains of individuals during life, a biomarker that is identified during autopsy to confirm a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. More...15 Feb 2011

Breast Gamma/Molecular Imaging Detects Breast Cancer in Difficult to Diagnose Patients
Recent research demonstrates breast-specific gamma imaging/molecular breast imaging provides additional information when conventional imaging is indeterminate and greater confidence is required to improve diagnostic accuracy. More...13 Jan 2011
Neuroimaging Reveal Brain Changes in Individuals at Genetic Risk for Alzheimer's
People with a known, high risk for Alzheimer's disease develop abnormal brain function even before the appearance of characteristic amyloid plaques that are characteristic of the disease, according to a new study. More...13 Jan 2011
