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.

New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests a physician's intuition—or, in other words, gut feeling—about a patient’s condition significantly influences the amount of diagnostic imaging, which is well above the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI).

Advanced imaging techniques have shown great potential in improving diagnosis and treatment of various conditions. But a recent study of patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery showed 3D image simulation did not improve satisfaction post-procedure, though most patients preferred the use of the imaging technique.

Cancer screening rates in the U.S. over the past 15 years remain short of national goals, according to new analysis performed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
