PSMA PET/CT detected more lesions in patients with prostate cancer and resulted in more changes in management than CT alone when utilized prior to radiotherapy, reported authors of a Dec. 14 study in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

For patients who undergo weight loss treatments for obesity, a specialized MRI sequence called quantitative chemical shift encoded MRI (CSE-MRI) may provide a safe and noninvasive way to monitor liver fat levels and the success of treatments, according to new research published online Dec. 18 in Radiology.

The project, called the Phantom Project or Marie, will test radiation exposure on the personalized, full-body phantom to determine the best angle for radiation dose distribution before real-life application and may help personalize cancer treatment for patients of varying body types, according to a recent Louisiana State University (LSU) news release.

What does the brain of 3.67 million year old hominin known as Little Foot look like? Thanks to Micro-CT scans of the ancient fossil, researchers reconstructed its brain and are learning more about the organ’s early evolution.

A team of international researchers found using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) to determine which patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) would benefit from invasive angiography can reduce costly invasive procedures while achieving similar accuracy to other methods.

A new study lead by a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. will utilize virtual reality headsets to pinpoint individuals who may be at risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to a recent online report by The Observer.

When finalized, the draft will supersede the guidance first issued on the subject in 1989 by the FDA, entitled the “Clarification of Radiation Control Regulations for Diagnostic X-ray Equipment."

Carotid pulse wave velocity (PVW) measured with ultrafast ultrasound at the end of systole (PWV-ES) may be a better biomarker of carotid stiffness in diabetic patients than PWV measured at the beginning of systole, according to a new study.

South Korean researchers have developed a technique that may enhance the safety of robotic thyroidectomy procedures by overlaying augmented reality (AR) models based on CT images onto patients during surgical intervention, according to research published in the December issue of Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research.

A U.K. woman created messages from a fake doctor to convince people she had brain cancer in an effort to steal money designated for her supposed treatment costs, according to BBC News reporting.
