Ian Randall[email protected]Clinical NewsTotal-body PET scanner targets pediatric patientsA 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.August 10, 2017Thoracic ImagingRadiomics helps predict NSCLC treatment outcomeA 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.July 16, 2017Molecular ImagingUltrasound-induced drug uptake requires cautionUltrasound-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.April 6, 2017Clinical NewsTexture classification eases lung CT analysisDutch 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.September 4, 2016Molecular ImagingMR-guided radiotherapy progresses in lungBy 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.July 7, 2016Clinical NewsCone-beam CT works well in adaptive proton therapyCone-beam CT can help identify treatment-relevant anatomical changes in patients receiving proton therapy for lung cancer, according to new research from Belgium, the U.K., and the U.S.March 31, 2016Clinical NewsTethered capsule detects GI tract diseaseA 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.February 25, 2016Molecular ImagingDesign changes transform potential of PET detectorsTwo 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.July 8, 2015Clinical NewsPhase-contrast x-rays image the airwaysPhase-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.September 17, 2014Page 1 of 1Top StoriesAdvanced VisualizationChatGPT promising as support tool for researchers getting started in AIChatGPT could serve as an academic reference tool for early-career radiologists and researchers.Advanced VisualizationLLMs outperform medical student in solving imaging casesClinical NewsIrish radiologist, 37, dies of cancerDigital X-RaySymphony of radiology: RSNA unveils art winnersIndustry NewsSiemens targets 3.3B patient touchpoints by 2030
