Total-body PET scanner targets pediatric patients
A high-resolution total-body PET scanner, which will be the first of its kind in Europe, is being developed in Belgium. The machine -- dubbed PET20.0 -- will be completed by 2020, and will offer higher resolution scanning suitable for children.

Radiomics helps predict NSCLC treatment outcome
A CT-based prognostic radiomic signature for non-small cell lung cancer can be ported for use with cone-beam CT images, according to a new study. The approach could potentially allow treatments to be monitored and adjusted in their early stages to afford better outcomes for patients, noted the researchers from the Netherlands.

Ultrasound-induced drug uptake requires caution
Ultrasound-activated microbubbles can be used to increase the cellular uptake of drugs in vivo, and this can be tracked by fluorescent dyes, but Dutch researchers found the results can be affected by the rate of the dye's intercellular diffusion and nuclear accumulation, plus other factors.

Texture classification eases lung CT analysis
Dutch researchers have developed a semiautomatic method for classifying abnormal lung textures that reduces the time taken to analyze thoracic CT scans. They found the interactive labeling protocol is more efficient to use than a fully automated alternative.

MR-guided radiotherapy progresses in lung
By accounting for the presence of the magnetic field during treatment planning, it is possible to deliver clinically acceptable MR-guided lung stereotactic body radiotherapy treatments, report U.K. researchers. This result may pave the way toward improved radiotherapy treatments.

Tethered capsule detects GI tract disease
A method for imaging and characterizing the esophageal wall using a tethered capsule has been developed by researchers from Harvard Medical School and Strasbourg University. The technology may provide a simple and convenient method for diagnosing upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract diseases.

Design changes transform potential of PET detectors
Two novel PET detector designs offer a significantly improved coincidence time resolution and may help better localize tumors within patients, report researchers from the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento, Italy, and the Swiss-based European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN.

Phase-contrast x-rays image the airways
Phase-contrast x-ray imaging offers a noninvasive way to track the effectiveness of cystic fibrosis treatments. The technique, which measures the refraction of a grid pattern of x-rays passing through the lungs, may eventually find use in visualizing other soft tissues, such as the brain and heart.
