Qure.ai to Debut Multimodality AI Platform for Lung Cancer Imaging at ASCO 2024
In addition to detecting missed lung nodules on X-rays, the AI-powered Qure.ai lung cancer continuum platform reportedly automates lung nodule measurement on CT scans and facilitates multimodality reporting.
Offering multimodality potential in detecting, monitoring, and reporting of lung cancer, Qure.ai will introduce an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled lung cancer continuum platform at the upcoming 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.
Key attributes of the lung cancer continuum platform include AI-enabled lung nodule measurement and tracking of volumetric growth of disease, according to Qure.ai, the developer of the platform. The company said the lung cancer continuum platform enables monitoring of drug efficacy, provides triage prioritization, and facilitates multimodality reporting.

Qure.ai also emphasized the capability of the lung cancer continuum platform to improve early detection of lung cancer through detection of lung nodules missed on X-rays.
“Artificial intelligence for lung cancer powers early detection, not just as part of existing screening programs, but by finding small pulmonary nodules, often opportunistically, during general health-care imaging procedures,” noted Prashant Warier, the CEO and co-founder of Qure.ai. “This enables earlier identification and referral for imaging or treatment pathways. It also helps overcome the ongoing challenges of low lung cancer screening appointment uptake rates.”
FDA Clears Virtually Helium-Free 1.5T MRI System from Siemens Healthineers
June 26th 2025Offering 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.
SNMMI: Botox May Facilitate Relief from Dry Mouth Side Effect of PSMA-Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals
June 25th 2025For 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.
Could an Emerging PET Tracer be a Game Changer for Detecting Hepatocellular Carcinoma?
June 23rd 2025In 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.
