The novel tracer improved both sensitivity and specificity in the study group, of which more than 50 percent were obese and typically more difficult to obtain high-quality imaging.

Kinetic modeling is important to understand how to obtain the best quantitative measurement of novel tracers in the organ of interest.

The InterView Fusion and InterView XP reportedly improve image quality for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and offer imaging tools specifically geared to common nuclear medicine studies ranging from bone imaging to cardiac assessment and lung imaging.

Precision DL, a deep learning-based software which will be available on GE HealthCare’s Omni Legend PET/CT device, reportedly increases the detectability of small, low-contrast lesions by 42 percent.

After five months of exposure to repeated blast events, the majority of nine otherwise healthy military instructors had significantly increased amyloid deposition in the brain, according to positron emission tomography (PET) findings from a new study.

A recent prospective study found that progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were significantly associated with breast cancer tumor treatment response on 2-(18F)FDG-PET/CT imaging in comparison to contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), which showed no evidence of a significant association with tumor response.
