GE develops PET tracer device

GE Healthcare announced at this month's Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting the development of a system to help produce a derivative of the fluorine positron radioisotope. The 18F-F2 isotope is a critical starting point for the production of F-DOPA, which has shown potential in diagnosing Parkinson's disease. The new technology, part of GE's PETtrace cyclotron offering, evolved from a collaboration with Imanet, a joint venture between Amersham and leading PET research centers. The 18F-F2 option boosts production capacity by nearly a factor of four, according to GE. This will increase the availability of this compound for use in research while laying the groundwork for wider use if F-DOPA becomes clinically viable.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
Study Shows Merits of CTA-Derived Quantitative Flow Ratio in Predicting MACE
December 11th 2024For patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), researchers found that those with a normal CTA-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) had a 22 percent higher MACE-free survival rate.
