Metabolic MRI technique shows promise in Alzheimer’s patients

AuntMinnie

Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) was highly aligned with F-18 FDG-PET -- a cornerstone of dementia diagnostics -- in patients with Alzheimer's disease in a study published April 8 in Radiology. Given that PET scans are more expensive and expose patients to small amounts of radiation, DMI is being explored as an alternative.

Photon-counting CT emerges as alternative for assessing fatty liver disease

AuntMinnie

Photon-counting CT may serve as an alternative to MRI for assessing liver fat in patients with fatty liver disease, according to an article published September 24 in Radiology. The disease affects up to 24% of the population in the U.S. and can lead to cirrhosis and even cancer if left untreated. in the MASLD cohort.

SNMMI: Y-90-FAPI-46 more effective for advanced sarcoma

AuntMinnie

Study participants underwent a total of 77 cycles of Y-90-FAPI-46 therapy between June 2020 and December 2023. Lanzafame and colleagues reported that Y-90-FAPI-46 controlled disease progression in nearly half of the patients in the study, signaling a "specific benefit" for the advanced sarcoma patient group.
