Peptide-based radiopharmaceutical developer Diatide reported last week that the Food and Drug Administration has accepted the company's new drug application (NDA) filing for AcuTect, and has placed the NDA under priority review status. The FDA reserves priority review for products that could be a significant improvement in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of a serious or life-threatening disease, according to Londonderry, NH-based Diatide. Receipt of the status means that the review time for AcuTect will most likely be cut in half, with the FDA completing its review in six months. AcuTect is designed for the detection of acute venous thrombosis (SCAN 9/3/97).

Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
