June 13, 2016 — By combining local radiation therapy and anti-cancer vaccines with checkpoint inhibitors, researchers were able to increase the response rate for these new immunotherapy agents in mice.

An emerging molecular imaging technique may provide a way to break the perpetual cycle of abuse of alcoholism. It could signal patients’ heightened risk and lead to targeted drug treatments that reduce the compulsion to drink, said researchers presenting at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), June 11-15 in San Diego.

June 13, 2016 – While 3-D printing has been around since the mid-1980s, there is accumulating evidence that this technology has the potential to revolutionize the understanding and management of heart conditions. A team of researchers from the Cleveland Clinic created a 3-D model of an aortic valve from a patient with a severe case of calcific aortic stenosis (AS) — narrowing of the aortic valve — to simulate the patient’s beating heart and assess the blood flow, or “hemodynamics.”   

GE Healthcare and Getinge Group announced the U.S. launch of a new, highly flexible angiography solution for surgery, interventional and hybrid operating room (OR) procedures at the Society for Vascular Surgery’s (SVS) 2016 annual meeting.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) announced its support of provisions in a new bill that would further delay implementation of U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) screening mammography recommendations.

Two new research studies verify that echocardiography, linked to experts through telemedicine, can provide better and more economical clinical healthcare to patients living a great distance from a cardiac care center.

Loma Linda University and Siemens’ PETNET Solutions Inc. have completed and brought operational a state-of-the-art positron emission tomography (PET) production and research facility to advance molecular imaging.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) announced it is one of two beta sites in the United States that will receive the new iSR’obot Mona Lisa. The image-guided system provides urologic surgeons with a tool to diagnose prostate cancer earlier through accurate diagnosis and precise localization that may allow for targeted treatments in the future.

At the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), Siemens Healthineers will highlight a new release of its syngo.via for Molecular Imaging software.
