Contrast-enhanced ultrasound may be more accurate than CT or MRI in identifying cancerous tumors in the kidneys and could reduce unnecessary biopsies and surgical procedures by half, according to research presented at the 2018 International Contrast Ultrasound Society’s Bubble Conference in Chicago.

Authors of a recent Journal of Nuclear Medicine study have discovered potential for misdiagnosis when relying solely on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET imaging in prostate cancer staging.

Researchers from the Salk Institute in San Diego and the University of Florida have used cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging to analyze a 3D model of the AAV2 virus. The advanced molecular imaging technique may demonstrate the potential for the virus to act as a delivery vehicle for gene therapies, according to research published Sept. 7 in Nature Communications.

A German-led research team has developed a new nuclear medicine imaging technique that outperforms standard tumor imaging by targeting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), according to research published in the September issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

A “see-through” electroencephalogram (EEG) developed by researchers from Boston Children’s Hospital and Northeastern University in Boston may provide future insight into neurological conditions, according to research published online Sept. 5 in Science Advances.

Researchers using fMRI have found medical marijuana may significantly relieve chronic nerve pain, according to research published online Sept. 5 in Neurology.

A Pennsylvania woman credits her early detection of breast cancer to a combination of ultrasound and mammography testing of her dense breast tissue, according to a report by the Scranton Times-Tribune in Pennsylvania.

New research published in Scientific Reports details the accuracy of optical microscope technology in identifying malignant brain tumors.
