New clinical-trial findings provide further evidence that combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy is the best treatment for people with a low-grade form of brain cancer.

Carestream is demonstrating its new Touch Ultrasound System at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) annual meeting, March 21-25.

TeraRecon unveiled the latest release of the company’s flagship iNtuition enterprise viewing solutions in combination with the second-generation of its iNteract+ interoperability platform at the annual European Congress of Radiology (ECR) meeting, March 4-8 in Vienna.

Treating metastatic melanoma with radiation therapy and two immunotherapies targeting the CTLA4 and PD-1 pathways could elicit an optimal response in more patients, boosting the immune system’s attack on the disease, suggests a new study. The study, from a multidisciplinary team of researchers from Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center, was published in Nature.

Rajesh Kana, Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and colleagues are the first to combine three different measures of the brain to distinguish people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from matched, typically developing peers.

SNMMI, PET/MRI, PET/CT, foot pain, diagnosis, nuclear imaging

A single scan could diagnose the cause of foot pain better and with less radiation exposure to the patient than other methods, according to a study in the March 2015 issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Imaging with 18F-fluoride positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MR), compared to 18F-fluoride positron emission tomography/computed topography (PET/CT), provides more diagnostic information with higher diagnostic certainty.
CMS, ACR, Lung Cancer Screening Registry, CT systems

Providers can now meet Medicare quality reporting requirements to receive payment for computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening by submitting data to the new Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)-approved American College of Radiology (ACR) Lung Cancer Screening Registry.
