Employing a hybrid positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) model to assess predictive features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), researchers noted a 100 percent sensitivity rate and a 93 percent sensitivity rate for distinguishing between AD and normal cognition, according to a study presented at the recent Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference in Chicago.

The approval of Blue Earth Diagnostics' Posluma (flotufolastat F 18) is a significant step forward for PSMA PET imaging, but will it actually help improve patient outcomes?

In an interview at the recent Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference in Chicago, Jeremie Calais, M.D., MSc discussed promising research findings for the use of the positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent 89ZR-DFO-girentuximab for diagnosing clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

New research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference suggests that neuroreceptor differences in reactions to visual food cues between obese people and normal-weight individuals may improve the understanding of underlying mechanisms that contribute to obesity.

In a recent interview at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference in Chicago, Phillip Kuo, M.D., Ph.D, F.A.C.R., discussed the potential impact of urinary activity with positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals, and new phase 3 study data that found low urinary activity with the use of the flotufolastat F 18 injectable agent in patients with prostate cancer.

The artificial intelligence (AI) software facilitates high-resolution three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) images of the breast.

Dr. Nadel was announced as president of SNMMI for the 2023-2024 term at the 2023 SNMMI annual meeting taking place in Chicago.

A next-generation positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system, Biograph Vision.X, reportedly offers enhanced spatial resolution and a time of flight of 178 picoseconds.

The research, which garnered “Abstract of the Year” honors at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference in Chicago, demonstrates the potential of the targeted agent to significantly improve survival rates in AML.

The novel tracer improved both sensitivity and specificity in the study group, of which more than 50 percent were obese and typically more difficult to obtain high-quality imaging.

There are cases that warrant verbal communication with referring clinicians, but making that communication happen can, at times, be a challenging responsibility.

Kinetic modeling is important to understand how to obtain the best quantitative measurement of novel tracers in the organ of interest.

In a lecture at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference, Matthew F. Covington, M.D., discussed key findings from recent studies that emphasize the possible prognostic role of positron emission tomography (PET) in de-escalating treatment for breast cancer.

The newly launched Signa PET/MR Air device offers technological features that may bolster image quality and enhance diagnostic accuracy for diseases such as prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Ultravist is reportedly the first contrast agent to gain a specific indication for visualization of known or suspected lesions on contrast-enhanced mammography, which was recently recommended by the American College of Radiology as a supplemental imaging alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women with dense breasts at the age of 40 and other risk factors for breast cancer.

The new portable ultrasound device, which is being showcased at the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) conference, offers enhanced cardiac imaging as well as shared transducer interoperability and workflows with existing EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx ultrasound systems.
