In a recent interview, Jean-Luc C. Urbain, M.D., Ph.D., the new president of the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, discussed current challenges in nuclear medicine and key goals, including improved access to nuclear medicine for people in underserved communities.

Are you being taken advantage of in your current radiology gig? Are you vigilant, hypersensitive or somewhere in between when it comes to standing up for yourself?

While there was a decline of AUC for mammography AI software from breast-level assessments to lesion-level evaluation, the authors of a new study, involving 1,200 women, found that AI offered over a seven percent higher AUC for lesion-level interpretation in comparison to unassisted expert readers.

Offering a cost- and resource-saving DryCool magnet technology, the Magnetom Flow.Ace MRI system reportedly requires 0.7 liters of liquid helium for cooling over the lifetime of the device in contrast to over 1,000 liters commonly utilized with conventional MRI platforms.

In a recent interview at the SNMMI conference, Liza Lindenberg, M.D., discussed preliminary research findings that suggest the potential of the 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT for detection of multiple myeloma.

Artificial intelligence (AI) software had a 14 percent false negative rate in a new study involving over 1,082 women with invasive breast cancer.

For patients being treated with radiopharmaceutical agents for metastatic prostate cancer, the combination of botulinum toxin and an anti-nausea patch led to a 30 percent reduction in PSMA uptake in the salivary glands, according to preliminary research findings presented at the SNMMI conference.

Expanded indications for the flutemetamol F18 injection include amyloid quantification and monitoring of anti-amyloid treatments.

In an ongoing prospective study of patients with biochemical recurrence of PCa and an initial negative PSMA PET/CT, preliminary findings revealed positive 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT scans in over 54 percent of the cohort, according to a recent poster presentation at the SNMMI conference.

The additional indication for the preparation kit of gallium Ga-68 gozetotide may facilitate earlier use of PSMA-targeted treatment for men with prostate cancer.

In a recent interview at SNMMI conference, Merle Hoenig, Ph.D., discussed new tau PET research examining genetic and modifiable risk factors that contribute to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

In addition to over 90 percent sensitivity in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the glypican-3 (GPC3) targeted PET tracer 68Ga-aGPC3-scFv appeared to be advantageous in identifying HCC tumors smaller than one centimeter, according to pilot study findings presented at the SNMMI conference.

Whether it comes in the form of seemingly extraneous addendums or the need to emphasize key points in radiology reporting, repetition can be a constant source of frustration.

The dual-targeted 177Lu-DOTA-FAPI-RGD reportedly reduced or stopped the growth of cancer lesions in 88.9 percent of advanced adenocarcinomas in a small cohort of patients with varied cancers including pulmonary, pancreatic and ovarian cancer, according to new research presented at the SNMMI conference.

While (68Ga)Ga-PSMA-11 offers a pooled sensitivity rate of 92 percent for prostate cancer, (18F)-based radiotracers may offer enhanced lesion detection as well as improved imaging flexibility, according to a meta-analysis presented at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference.

Multimodal treatment monitoring, including SPECT/CT exams 24 hours after treatment with Lu-177 PSMA-617, may have facilitated significantly shorter therapy durations and reduced side effects in patients with mCRPC, according to a two-year study presented at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference.
