Researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Hollings Cancer Center in Charleston have received a three-year, $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to use molecular imaging tools to test antibody therapies for breast cancer—potentially producing fewer side effects.

NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes in Beloit, Wis. and the Janesville, Wis.-planned SHINE Medical Technologies may receive a portion of the $20 million in federal technology funding bill approved by President Donald Trump to produce molybdenum-99 (Mo-99).

Implementing a software solution that auto-fills ultrasound measurements improves radiology report quality and helps radiologists focus on their interpretations, according to new research published by Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology.

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) could help differentiate between benign and malignant tumors and predict tumor recurrence in breast cancer patients, according to research published Oct. 4 in Academic Radiology. The authors noted that DWI may also serve as a beneficial supplement to contrast-enhanced breast MRI.

A new hybrid nanoplatform that simultaneously uses three types of imaging modalities—MRI, CT and fluorescence optical imaging—to locate tumors could give a new edge to molecular imaging and tumor diagnosis.  

Liana Apostolova, MD, a researcher at the Indiana University School of Medicine, has won a five-year, $44.7 million research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study early-onset Alzheimer's disease with MRI and PET imaging, according to an Oct. 4 report by the Indianapolis Business Journal.

Facebook may be a viable method for implementing a critical care ultrasound curriculum, according to research to be presented at CHEST 2018, the annual meeting for the American College of Chest Physicians.

A novel brain MRI based method can track myelin—responsible for insulating nerve fibers—and may enable clinicians to identify myelin content changes in MS patients and patients whose myelin has been damaged by stroke or traumatic brain injury.
