FDG-PET/CT imaging can reduce unnecessary surgeries to remove residual neck cancer in patients who have undergone chemoradiotherapy, according to a study published June 28 in Radiotherapy and Oncology. In an analysis of treated patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), integrating FDG-PET/CT helped select patients for surgery and ruled it out in a significant number of others, noted lead author Arash Navran, MD, of the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam.

A colder nose and warmer cheeks may be a telltale sign of rising blood pressure. Researchers discovered that temperatures in different face regions are associated with various chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. These temperature differences are not easily perceptible by one's own touch but can instead be identified using specific AI-derived spatial temperature patterns that require a thermal camera and a data-trained model.
