Draxis Health of Mississauga, ON, has gotten the nod from Canadian officials to begin clinical trails of a radiopharmaceutical designed to image difficult-to-diagnose infections. The radiopharmaceutical promises to selectively distinguish infection from inflammation by binding directly with bacteria. It combines the widely used antibacterial agent ciprofloxacin with technetium-99m.Enrollment in the study is scheduled to begin in January. The Phase I study, to be conducted at Hôpital Hotel-Dieu, Centre Hospitalier de L'Université de Montréal, will involve 10 healthy subjects. Whole-body images will be taken periodically after injection of the drug to visualize its distribution throughout the body over time.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
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.
