Fifty-seven percent of patients with prostate cancer diagnosed with osseous metastases on bonescans had negative findings on PSMA PET imaging, according to findings from an international multicenter comparative study.
for imaging PSMA-positive lesions in patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent prostate cancer, yet the biodistribution of these tracers can vary, the authors explained. Safety and preliminary imaging performance data support further development of Ga-68 PSMA-R2 as a diagnostic agent in patients with [prostate cancer], the group concluded.
As technological capabilities advance across all medical disciplines, so to do the imaging needs that often come with adequate diagnostic capabilities. Doctors can use MRI to get highly refined, detailed scans of the human body's interior portions without needing to perform any form of surgical intervention for diagnostic purposes.
Imagine going in for a diagnostic MRI scan and coming out with a progressive, irreversible, and potentially fatal disease. Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology , December 2006, Vol. Anteroposterior and lateral Tc-99m HDP delayed bonescan shows extensive symmetric skin uptake in lower extremities and distal upper extremities.
Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) methyl diphosphonate (MDP) bonescans are a potentially viable noninvasive option for diagnosing calciphylaxis, according to a team at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester, MA. The team assessed the potential diagnostic utility of bonescans in calciphylaxis based on a review of the literature.
Nuclear medicine is a form of specialty medicine that uses radioactive tracers to evaluate bodily functions and to diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions. Nuclear scans produce images of the body’s anatomy that cannot be obtained as clearly or fully with other imaging techniques.
A bone density test is a non-invasive procedure to measure the strength of your bones. It is an effective way to diagnosebone-related health problems, such as osteoporosis, and to assess the risk of developing them. The post Benefits Of Getting A Bone Density Test appeared first on Independent Imaging.
Doctors use imaging tests to see inside a patient’s body and diagnose their illnesses and injuries. A doctor will often use a diagnostic imaging test to check patients for signs of cancer. Diagnosis The diagnosis of cancer is often first detected through a diagnostic screening. This is known as cancer staging.
