Molecular Imaging Offers Insight into Chemotherapy-Related Cognitive Impairment
New research findings have highlighted the role of nuclear medicine brain imaging in assessing the biological changes that cause chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment. With this knowledge, patients can gain a better understanding of the changes in their cognitive status during and after treatment. More...30 Mar 2023

PSMA PET Aids Decision Making in Prostate Cancer Treatment
A recent study utilizing detailed PSMA PET mapping of cancer recurrence in the prostate bed has revealed that the current radiotherapy contouring guidelines miss a significant number of lesions and may result in unnecessary irradiation of healthy tissues. More...28 Mar 2023

Real-Time 3D Imaging Provides First-of-Its-Kind View of X-Rays Hitting Inside Body During Radiation Therapy
Radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can now be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging. By capturing and amplifying tiny sound waves created when X-rays heat tissues in the body, medical professionals can map the radiation dose within the body, giving them new data to guide treatments in real time.

New Imaging Technique Could Measure Absorbed Dose from Radiation Therapy
Using a novel low-count quantitative single photon emission computed tomography (LC-QSPECT), researchers plan to build a computational framework from which to measure the concentration of the radiopharmaceutical material. Scans with this technology will allow the team to measure the concentration of the radiopharmaceutical activity in the tumor and the various radio-sensitive organs of the body. More...16 Dec 2022

World's First Total-Body PET/CT Enables Entire Body to Be Scanned in One Bed Position
United Imaging Healthcare (UIH, Shanghai, China) has unveiled the world's first total-body PET/CT, uEXPLORER, with a 194cm axial PET field of view (FOV) that enables the entire body to be scanned in one bed position. More...25 Oct 2022
