In patients with multiple traumas, those who were over 30 years old with severe injuries across more than two body parts were more likely to experience a missed injury upon initial CT scan, according to a recent Radiology study.

“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.

Yale University researchers have discovered a new PET imaging method that measures beta-cell mass which could improve monitoring, according to research published online in the August issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.  

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.

Researchers from Columbia University in New York have developed a molecular imaging tool that can track metabolic changes in individual living cells in real time, according to research published July 30 in Nature Communications.

A new technology hopes to break the geographical barriers keeping patients from diagnostic CT scans. The imaging units are hardly mobile, so one scientist is hoping to put similar tools into people’s hands.
