Dutch researchers utilized a PET tracer to distinguish differences in estrogen receptor (ER) expression in metastatic breast cancer patients, according to a recent Journal of Nuclear Medicine study. Findings may enhance treatment for these patients.

While heart failure (HF) is an uncommon complication of breast cancer, a new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology notes individuals treated with trastuzumab-based chemotherapy have a higher risk for HF—but they are not monitored for it, despite recommendations.

A patient-centric, personalized approach to contrast administration in CT imaging that balances contrast dose with radiation dose may enhance patient safety and maintain high-quality diagnostics, according to an editorial published Aug. 3 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Leadership at Canberra Hospital in Australia learned trainees were working unsupervised due to staffing issues more than a year before its radiology training program was handed a “D” rating, the Canberra Times reports.

A team of Russian researchers has developed a novel MRI coil capable of producing images with three times the resolution of commercial varieties, according to a recent NMR in Biomedicine study.

Canon Medical Research Europe, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, was awarded $180,000 to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical imaging technology prototype that can recognize, assess and measure asbestos-related cancer tumors, according to a report published Aug. 6 by Scottish Business Insider.

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)’s Board of Directors has appointed Gary Luker, MD, as editor of Radiology: Imaging Cancer, its new online journal, according to an RSNA news release.
