A new study has discovered that a short video-based patient decision may assist former and current smokers make better decisions about getting a computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer. The video shared a wealth of knowledge about lung cancer and CT screenings. “With the release of the...

A new study  presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2013 Annual Meeting reveals a system of PET/MR was well received by patients and identified a higher number of prostate cancer recurrences compared to PET/CT. PET/MR was highly effective at identifying small loc...

At the (SNMMI) 2013 Annual Meeting, a study showed that early positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) imaging is efficient in detecting recurring areas of colorectal liver metastases following radiofrequency ablation. Despite there being no official rules for the timing or i...

Researchers at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's 2013 Annual Meeting say that only a few years ago, an implementation positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging was available on in research-based institutions; yet have now found a place in current medi...

External beam radiation treatment has long been molded into the specific shape of patients’ tumors for modified cancer care though technology; offering a way of patient-specific radionuclide drug therapies has not been regulated, due to its limitation in software that calls for oncologists to manu...

New York, N.Y, June 17,2013 - No matter where they have hidden, metastatic prostate cancer cells still express some of the same signaling as normal prostate cells; in some cases even more so, as with the PSMA enzyme. Harnessing this enzyme could mean the beginning of a new platform for prostate can...

A new picture archiving and communication system (PACS) is a highly multifaceted and readable web-centered system that grants access to medical images throughout the enterprise for faster diagnosis, reporting, storing, and distribution of clinical records and data. Shina Systems (Caesarea, Israel),...

Despite their crafty elusiveness, prostate cancer cells still exhibit much of the same signals as ordinary prostate cells do; in some instances even more so, as the PSMA enzyme alludes. Honing such an enzyme could lead to all kinds of possibilities, regarding prostate cancer recognition. Not only th...

A recent examination of seven healthcare systems in the U.S. has discovered that pediatric radiation exposure from computed tomography (CT) scans can potentially increase the risk of radiation-induced cancer in children. The study, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, showed that the number of...

Assessing and analyzing changes in body fat composition and distribution, in other words quantifying body fat, is an area of active research due to the direct impact they have on better care for diabetic patients. Such body fat composition and distribution changes may affect the metabolic complicati...
