Jan. 22, 2025 — Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R) recently called for establishing clear ethical guidelines to ensure data research is conducted responsibly. PRIM&R’s statement is part of the national nonprofit’s comment submission to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), regarding the potential development of ethical guidelines for research using “pervasive data.”

Jan. 21, 2025 — The NeurEYE research team, led by the University of Edinburgh, with Glasgow Caledonian University, has collected almost 1 million eye scans from opticians across Scotland, forming the world’s largest data set of its kind.

Jan. 8, 2025 – The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and the Alzheimer’s Association have released updated appropriate use criteria (AUC) for amyloid and tau PET imaging in patients with mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The new criteria expand PET imaging guidance to include tau PET, incorporate updated information, and provide specific guidance to enhance diagnostic precision, treatment decisions, and patient care.

Jan. 10, 2025 – Bayer has announced positive topline results of the Phase III QUANTI studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of gadoquatrane, an investigational gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

All QUANTI studies investigated gadoquatrane at a gadolinium dose of 0.04 mmol Gd/kg body weight which represents a gadolinium dose reduction of 60 percent compared to the macrocyclic GBCAs dosed at 0.1 mmol Gd/kg body weight. Gadoquatrane successfully met the primary and main secondary endpoints of all QUANTI studies.

Jan. 14, 2025 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has published a final recommendation statement on screening for osteoporosis to prevent fractures. 

Jan. 10, 2024 —  ImagingU has announced the dates of its 2025 MRI Safety and MRSO Conferences.

ImagingU’s in-person weekend conferences are designed for current or aspiring MR Safety Officers, as well as other radiology professionals looking to increase their MRI safety knowledge or earn continuing education credits (CEUs).

The conferences will take place on:

Jan. 13, 2025 -- ERS Genomics, the CRISPR licensing company, has announced the launch of its Express License platform to provide small research enterprises and startups with affordable and rapid access to the world’s largest foundational and essential CRISPR/Cas9 patent portfolio.

Jan. 8, 2025 — ScreenPoint Medical has acquiredf Biomediq A/S, a research-based company focused on the research, development and implementation of quantitative imaging biomarkers. After a decade of close collaboration as separate entities on image based risk assessment, this deal is expected to bring breast cancer risk assessment capabilities to ScreenPoint's  Breast AI, Transpara.

Jan. 8, 2025 - EDAP TMS SA, a supplier of robotic energy-based therapies, has announced that the first patient has been treated in a phase I/II PULS Trial sponsored by the Centre Léon Bérard, Lyon, France, evaluating proprietary High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology for the treatment of pancreatic tumors.

Computed tomography (CT) has long been a cornerstone of modern imaging, providing detailed 3D insights into the human body and other materials. However, conventional CT requires hundreds of X-ray projections from multiple angles, exposing patients to significant radiation doses and relying on large, immobile systems.
