Can Molecular Imaging Provide Key Insights on Obesity Interventions?
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.
A Closer Look at Urinary Activity and PET Radiopharmaceuticals for Prostate Cancer Imaging
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.
Molecularly Targeted Radiation Agent Facilitates Bone Marrow Transplant in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
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.
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.
Siemens Healthineers Get FDA Nod for New SPECT/CT Scanner
The newly FDA-cleared Symbia Pro.specta SPECT/CT Scanner, which reportedly offers a variety of enhanced capabilities including low-dose CT up to 64 slices and intuitive workflow guides, was launched at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2022 Annual Meeting.
In what may be the first study to examine clinical and polysomnographic aspects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coronary microvascular disease (CMD), researchers said the frequency of OSA may be a significant factor in the development of heart disease and related complications.
