Molecular data from a patient’s breast cancer cells can help predict if they are at an increased risk for recurrence, according to new findings published in Nature.

PET/CT with the radiotracer 18F-FDG may have met its match at cancer detection in two new “FAPI” tracers based on gallium-68. The acronym stands for fibroblast activation protein inhibitor, and in a recent trial the new tracers equaled or bettered FDG PET/CT on image quality, required no fasting and yielded images in less time than FDG PET/CT.

The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) has updated its reference guide for patient safety and high-quality care during radiation therapy treatment.

Family physicians as well as medical students appreciate the opportunity to bone up on radiology via online classrooms using the popular Second Life platform. And while doctors tend to immerse themselves in the process with somewhat lower intensity, all seem to readily take to radiology training with avatars and other features of the virtual world. 

During the 68th Annual Scientific Session & Expo of the American College of Cardiology, March 16-18 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Siemens Healthineers introduces the SOMATOM go.Top Cardiovascular Edition, a new version of its established computed tomography (CT) system designed to deliver personalized patient dose control in all types of routine cardiovascular imaging.

Using MRI scans to measure iron content can help specialists learn more about stroke-related damage to the brain, according to a new study published by Radiology. Should such measurements be required after patients suffer a stroke?

Whole-body PET/CT with the standard radiotracer 18F-FDG is a dependable screening tool for catching many metastases, distant as well as regional lymphatic, according to researchers at the University of Minnesota.

Artificial intelligence shows great promise in recognizing patterns, liberating physicians from keyboards and predicting outcomes, but where does it fall short? Medical guru Eric Topol does a deep dive into those topics and many more in his new book, Deep Medicine.

NVIDIA this week announced plans to buy chipmaker and its collaboration partner Mellanox Technologies for $6.9 billion. The move by the graphics chip giant seeks to help it push into the growing market for data center components by adding to chips that help speed the flow of information across servers.

Air pollution could be contributing to twice as many deaths as previously estimated, according to research published in the European Heart Journal. Cardiovascular disease often deals the final blow, with CVD events accounting for 40 to 80 percent of these deaths.
