Radiology Research Highlights from RSNA 2024
Catch up on emerging research from the recent 2024 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
With the end of 2024, we take a look back at research highlights from the 2024 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference with topics ranging from emerging imaging insights into Alzheimer's disease and new brain MRI research on the risks of repetitive soccer heading to a starker look at the limitations of conventional mammography for detecting breast cancer. Review the slideshow to view highlighted research from the RSNA conference.
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.
The Reading Room: Artificial Intelligence: What RSNA 2020 Offered, and What 2021 Could Bring
December 5th 2020Nina Kottler, M.D., chief medical officer of AI at Radiology Partners, discusses, during RSNA 2020, what new developments the annual meeting provided about these technologies, sessions to access, and what to expect in the coming year.
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.
RSNA 2020: Addressing Healthcare Disparities and Access to Care
December 4th 2020Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.
SNMMI: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About Radiotracers for PET/CT Detection of PCa
June 22nd 2025While (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.
SNMMI: Can Multimodal Monitoring Bolster Outcomes with Pluvicto in Treating mCRPC?
June 22nd 2025Multimodal 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.
