PET scans can light up tumors in the body and help doctors determine if they are cancerous or benign (noncancerous). The results of a PET scan help guide medical decisions. A PET scan is a type of ...

Whole-pelvis RT linked to improved PFS for patients with prostate cancer staged TrN0M0, while ADT linked to improved PFS in patients staged N1/M1 ...

A newer type of prostate cancer scan called 64 Cu-SAR-bisPSMA found more than twice as many cancer spots as a commonly used PSMA PET scan in men whose prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was rising after ...

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (Embargoed until 3:15 p.m. PDT, Saturday, June 11, 2022)—A new PET imaging technique can greatly reduce the amount of patient radiation exposure by eliminating the ...

One of the primary tools that oncologists use to stage cancers is the PET (positron emission tomography) scan, an imaging test that uses a small amount of radioactive sugar to detect metabolically ...

A new ultra-low dose imaging method used with long axial field-of-view PET scanners can obtain images with a historically low radiopharmaceutical dose—more than 50 times lower than the standard ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of imaging scan that doctors might use when diagnosing and treating non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It can be useful for identifying and staging the cancer.

A novel artificial intelligence method can be used to generate high-quality 'PET/CT' images and subsequently decrease radiation exposure to the patient. The method bypasses the need for CT-based ...

PET scans examine the tissues of the body at a cellular level. Because these tests can measure metabolic activity, such as oxygen use, blood flow and the rate at which specific areas of the body are ...

A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) has been developed, using positron emission tomography (PET). The team has developed a new radiotracer, which is taken up by live TB bacteria in the ...

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (Embargoed until 3:00 p.m. PDT, Sunday, June 12, 2022)—A novel artificial intelligence method can be used to generate high-quality “PET/CT” images and subsequently ...
