Italian research team shows the way on sustainability

AuntMinnie

The new horizons of advanced imaging, especially in oncology, must increasingly consider not only diagnostic efficacy but also sustainability for patients, prize-winning researchers told ECR 2025 delegates. To mitigate these effects, low-energy imaging techniques should be prioritized without compromising diagnostic accuracy.

PSMA-PET tracer performs well in clinical trial

AuntMinnie

In the trial, 30 patients with recurrent disease or metastatic prostate cancer underwent baseline conventional imaging (CT, MRI, or bone scan) and whole-body Ga-68 PSMA-R2 PET/CT between 20 minutes and four hours after injection. All patients had undergone either radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. (A)

Independent Imaging

Although the patient is exposed to radiation during the procedure, the test is considered safe because the amount of radiation used is comparable to that of a routine X-ray. This scan may be performed in order to check whether you have a suspected kidney obstruction or impaired function.

The 3 “Must Haves” in Women’s Imaging

Clermont Radiology

Our Women's Center performs both screening and diagnostic mammograms. Ultrasound is a simple, safe, painless diagnostic procedure that bounces high-frequency sound waves off parts of the body and captures the returning “echoes” as images. There is no injection or radiation exposure associated with ultrasound.

Benefits Of Getting A Bone Density Test

Independent Imaging

There are no special instructions to prepare for it, and unlike an MRI or CT Scan , a bone densitometry procedure does not involve lying in an enclosed tunnel. The scan uses a very low dose of radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body, particularly around the hips and lower spine, to measure bone mass and strength.
