Brain MRIs of children diagnosed with the common genetic syndrome neurofibromatosis type 1 (NFI) displayed an underestimated frequency of brain tumors according to research published in Neurology, Clinical Practice.  

In the face of a challenging nuclear medicine (NM) landscape, defined by declining reimbursement and disruptive technology, a group of radiologists set out to determine work patterns of self-identified NM specialists.

The FDA has ordered a radiology center in a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, suburb to stop performing low-quality mammograms not meeting FDA standards, according to a report published Aug. 7 by NBC 6 in Miramar.

A 20-year study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Aug. 9 compiled cardiovascular screening exams from more than 11,000 adolescent soccer players in the U.K. It found that routine cardiac imaging tests prevented an insufficient amount of heart-related deaths from physical activity.

Production of technetium-99m (Tc-99m) is expected to resume soon at the Australian generator that was forced to shut down in June, according to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO).

The center will serve as a common space for University of California, Irvine (UCI) faculty, physicians and researchers to collaborate on translating artificial intelligence (AI)-based concepts into clinical tools to improve all aspects of healthcare.

“Treatment effect is more reliably determined on imaging at 90 days following SIRT, however imaging at one-month post-SIRT is still frequently performed,” Shamar Young, MD, and colleagues wrote. “This raises the question as to whether or not imaging at one month following SIRT is clinically warranted.”

Identifying the amount, location and size of lesions on MRI can predict the risk of progression from an early stage of multiple sclerosis (MS) to an official diagnosis within a year, according to authors of a new Brain and Behavior study.

The trade war between the U.S. and China continues to grow. The U.S. announced Tuesday, Aug. 7, that it will impose 25 percent tariffs on an additional $16 billion worth of goods imported from China.
