Welcome to your information hub for new developments in PET/CT (also referred to as PET-CT).
What is PET/CT being used for? What clinical trials involve PET/CT? What are researchers finding out? These are the questions Diagnostic Imaging seeks to answer. Pulling information from a variety of sources we hope to be your ultimate source for information regarding the modality.
Keep coming back to learn the latest developments.
Genitourinary scientific papers to be released at the 2009 RSNA meeting underscore attempts to address diagnostic challenges as old as the subspecialty itself by taking advantage of recent technological developments. More »
Joanna Fowler, Ph.D., a major contributor to brain research and a pioneer in molecular imaging, has been awarded the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest award for lifetime achievement in science. More »
Radiologists may have to make only minor changes to their practices to adjust to the new international standards for lung cancer staging, but a lecture covering their implications was still controversial enough to send sparks flying. More »
Findings of a study by researchers in Italy suggest C-11 choline PET/CT could diagnose prostate cancer recurrence sooner than transrectal ultrasound, CT, MRI, or bone scintigraphy in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy. More »

Researchers in Germany and the Netherlands have discovered ultrasound-based patterns that can accurately diagnose the presence and stage of metastases in patients with melanoma. Sonography, they say, could replace surgical biopsies and predict patient survival. More »
Children's hospitals in Cincinnati and Memphis, TN, have established the value of FDG-PET for depicting the extent of neuroblastoma in some patients, particularly for those in the early stages of the disease. More »
Radiologists may have to make only minor changes to their practices to adjust to the new international standards for lung cancer staging, but a lecture covering their implications was still controversial enough to send sparks flying Aug. 4 at the World Conference on Lung Cancer in San Francisco.
