Synthetic MRI measures predict breast cancer treatment responses, according to new research

Researchers suggested that the quantitative measures derived from synthetic MRI exams could be used to help guide treatment decisions for breast cancer patients.

Surveillance breast MRI

Surveillance breast MRI findings linked with future second cancer

The new research focused specifically on associations between background parenchymal enhancement—a known risk factor for breast cancer, visualized on surveillance MRI exams—and secondary breast cancers.

How effective are guidelines for managing incidental pulmonary nodules spotted on CT?

The authors of the study hypothesized that they would find malalignments due to the nature of how the 2017 Fleischner Society guidelines, in that they do not pertain to incidentally detected nodules.

PSMA-PET is rapidly changing the standard of care for prostate cancer patients

Adoption of PSMA-PET has been swift because it can significantly improve prostate cancer detection and treatment. SNMMI President Munir Ghesani, MD, explains how.
