In an interview, SNMMI president Cathy Cutler, PhD, discussed the impact of the recent CMS decision to unbundle reimbursement for diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals costing above $630 a day, calling it a “game changer” decision that will benefit patients, physicians, and the development of new radiopharmaceutical agents.

Emerging research demonstrated that the Stone Clear device, which facilitates post-lithotripsy clearance of kidney stone fragments, led to a 70 percent lower risk of relapse in comparison to observation in a control group.

New research demonstrates that photon-counting computed tomography angiography (PC CTA) provides sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates of 90 percent and higher for the detection of stenotic disease in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Icobrain.aria is reportedly the first AI software geared toward the detection and monitoring of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIAs) on brain MRI.

The Signa Magnus MRI device offers a slew rate and gradient amplitude that are reportedly superior to those of 60 or 70 cm bore whole-body MRI systems.

Researchers found that new prostate lesion detection on SPECT/CT at the beginning of a second cycle of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 for mCRPC was associated with an over sevenfold higher mortality risk.

The Spectral CT 7500 RT system reportedly combines 4D conventional computed tomography (CT) with the enhanced quantification and visualization of spectral CT to facilitate improved precision with radiotherapy.

Employing deep learning reconstruction at four excitations for DWI MRI may lead to an average five-minute reduction in exam time for prostate mpMRI, according to a new study.

Employing advanced deep learning convolutional neural networks, ProFound Detection Version 4.0 reportedly offers a 50 percent improvement in detecting cancer in dense breasts in comparison to the previous version of the software.

Trained on over five million spine MRI scans, the RAI software reportedly facilitates rapid pathology detection and enhanced consistency with disc measurement.
