In a new study, published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers found that combining SPECT/CT and fluorescence imaging on patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) that metastasized beyond the primary tumor, could help surgeons differentiate tumor tissue from normal tissue.

Researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Solna, Sweden, found the size of tau deposits in brains of Alzheimer's patients and the speed of their spread vary from patient to patient.

This past year, the New Hampshire Society of Radiologic Technologists and its president, Brandy Cusson, made strides on behalf of the radiologic science community earning them both the American Society of Radiologic Technologists 2017 Award for Advocacy.

Parents and doctors of children with heart disease have a new resource as they seek the best diagnostics with the least radiation. Called the “Have-a-Heart” campaign, it’s a collaborative effort led by the Image Gently Alliance together with the American Academy of Pediatrics and a coalition of pediatric medicine and cardiology organizations.

Physicians in fields like cardiology have traditionally looked to clinical practice guidelines to help articulate the best evidence-based care for patients. The rapidly growing movement to value-based care is prompting clinicians—including echocardiographers—to carefully weigh a more focused and integrative approach to delivering consistent, quality medicine: care pathways.

Patients at Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) now have access to safe, high-quality interventional cardiac exams with the installation of Toshiba Medical’s InfinixTM-i Sky +. TGMC, a nationally recognized healthcare organization and home to one of the most advanced vascular interventional practices in the country, is the first healthcare provider in the United States to install the Infinix-i Sky +.

A recent article by Science Bulletin shows an image of a prostate cancer patient with metastatic tumors and another image of the same patient three months later with those tumors gone. 

Neuroscientist Greg Dunn, PhD, and applied physicist Brian Edwards, PhD, have teamed up to create an artistic series of brain images using a technique called reflective microetching. The two describe the work as “the most fundamental self-portrait ever created."
