There may soon be an alternative to FDG-PET in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as the non-invasive arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI method has been shown to provide comparable information, according to a study appearing in Neurology.
CHICAGO--Image interpretation will need to include quantitative analysis in the future, according to a session on Nov. 30 at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
CHICAGO – Mechanistic imaging, which leverages imaging to understand the pathophysiology of disease, will project the specialty of radiology another leap forward, said A. Gregory Sorensen, MD, co-director of Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and CEO of Siemens Healthcare USA, during the Pendergrass New Horizons Lecture Nov. 28 at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
CHICAGO--The unsustainable cost trajectory in healthcare is well-known, but much less understood are strategies for practices to thrive as government and payors step up efforts to bend the cost curve. Experts examined the drivers and impacts of the cost curve conundrum during a session on Nov. 28 at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
CHICAGO--With atherosclerosis-related diseases estimated to cost more than $500 billion in the U.S. in 2010, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease are critical priorities. Existing and emerging imaging tools show great promise in helping the diagnosis of atherosclerosis, said Zahi A. Fayad, PhD, professor of radiology and cardiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, during the opening session panel at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) on Nov. 27.
CHICAGO–Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers have identified abnormalities in the brains of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that may serve as a biomarker for the disorder, according to a study presented at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) on Nov. 28.
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland have developed a cryo-imaging technique to view a mouse model of glioblastoma multiforme, according to a study published online Aug. 23 in Cancer Research.
Researchers successfully fused real-time ultrasound to coregistered CT and FDG PET studies and combined the datasets with electromagnetic device tracking to perform percutaneous and intraoperative biopsies and radiofrequency ablation, according to a study published in the September issue of Radiology.
Phantom and in vivo experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of simultaneous PET and 3D fluorescence optical tomography (FOT) imaging, according to research published in the August issue of the Journal of the Nuclear Medicine.
University Hospital Zurich has installed the Ziostation supercomputing functional analytics system from Ziosoft.
Vital, part of the Toshiba Medical Systems Group, has released Vitrea Enterprise Suite Version 6.1.
Known to be significantly more susceptible to dementia, individuals with Down syndrome appear to display age-related increases in amyloid senile plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles that mirror those increases in Alzheimer’s patients as viewed with PET, according to a study published in the June issue of Archives of Neurology.
Siemens Healthcare demonstrated a range of clinical and mobile imaging IT systems as part of its syngo suite at the annual meeting of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM), June 2 through 5, in Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Quantitative imaging offers a grand opportunity for radiology. However, key prerequisites including systems to support development and integration into clinical workflow are required, according to the Quantitative Imaging session June 4 at the annual meeting of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM).
