Researchers—led by Kevin Chen, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University's Microrobotics Lab—have found that spatiotemporally correlated data acquired using a single magnetic resonance (MR) sequence may be successfully used in a PET/MRI scanner for PET attenuation, motion and partial effects corrections.

A study of more than 15,000 childhood cancer survivors found a “surprisingly” high number lacked concern for their well-being in adulthood—despite the group’s increased health risks. Some 40 percent were unconcerned about developing new cancers.

Irene Tracey, PhD and director of Oxford University's Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, is known as the "Queen of Pain," according to an editorial published in the July 2 issue of The New Yorker.

A deep-learning software that can automatically calculate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with less variability than a cardiologist recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Although findings from the 2011 National Lung Screening Trial have prompted many U.S. health organizations to endorse the use of low-dose chest CT to screen for lung cancer, research published in the American Journal of Roentgenology revealed almost 98 percent of online patient education materials outlining the benefits and risks of lung cancer screenings do not meet national literacy recommendations.

A new group of officers has been selected at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2018 annual meeting, including president Satoshi Minoshima, MD, PhD, professor and chair of the department of radiology and imaging sciences at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

With PET and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), researchers have demonstrated that T cells can be modified with the antibody report 1 (DAbR1) gene to enable in vivo tracking for immunotherapy, according to research published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

At the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), June 23-26 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Siemens Healthineers announces the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of four new system features for the Biograph mCT family of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) systems
