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

PET/CT imaging with a new gallium-68-based prostate cancer radiotracer shows promise for detecting recurrent metastatic disease, according to a study published February 20 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Imaging agents with low uptake in at-risk organs and higher tumor uptake are needed, they noted.

Types of Nuclear Medicine

Independent Imaging

Nuclear scans produce images of the body’s anatomy that cannot be obtained as clearly or fully with other imaging techniques. Nuclear medicine tests use a very small amount of radioactive tracer (radionuclide or radioisotope) which is specific for the organ or tissue to be scanned. We look forward to serving you.

Benefits Of Getting A Bone Density Test

Independent Imaging

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. A certified radiologic technologist will prepare your images for the radiologist, who will then interpret your results and prepare a report.

The rise of theranostics: Part 4 -- Women's theranostics on the horizon

AuntMinnie

Theranostics is increasingly being used to image and treat prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. Several presenters at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's (SNMMI) 2024 meeting in Toronto shared new findings in women's studies. and included limited single and cumulative radiation doses.
