Adding to its investment in positron imaging, Integral Nuclear Associates has purchased the assets of Nuclear Imaging Systems and Cardiovascular Concepts. These assets include 14 fixed-site nuclear cardiology imaging centers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. The sellers had filed for bankruptcy under chapter 11 in August 2000. INA, which owns Integral PET, intends to incorporate its newly acquired sites into the nuclear cardiology business operated by the Integral group of companies. The centers provide a comprehensive range of nuclear cardiology services, including cardiac stress tests, SPECT, perfusion, and wall motion studies.
What is the Best Use of AI in CT Lung Cancer Screening?
April 18th 2025In comparison to radiologist assessment, the use of AI to pre-screen patients with low-dose CT lung cancer screening provided a 12 percent reduction in mean interpretation time with a slight increase in specificity and a slight decrease in the recall rate, according to new research.

November 3rd 2020In this podcast episode, Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, from Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discusses the disparities minority patients face with cancer screenings and what can be done to increase access during the pandemic.
Can CT-Based AI Radiomics Enhance Prediction of Recurrence-Free Survival for Non-Metastatic ccRCC?
April 14th 2025In comparison to a model based on clinicopathological risk factors, a CT radiomics-based machine learning model offered greater than a 10 percent higher AUC for predicting five-year recurrence-free survival in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Could Lymph Node Distribution Patterns on CT Improve Staging for Colon Cancer?
April 11th 2025For patients with microsatellite instability-high colon cancer, distribution-based clinical lymph node staging (dCN) with computed tomography (CT) offered nearly double the accuracy rate of clinical lymph node staging in a recent study.
