No Evidence That PET and PET/CT Has Advantages in Screening for Ovarian Cancer

Because of the lack of relevant research, there is currently no substantial evidence that patients with ovarian cancer can benefit from PET imaging alone or in combination with CT imaging. More...

Alzheimer’s Plaques Seen in PET Brain Scans Could Identify Future Cognitive Decline

Among patients with mild or no cognitive impairment, brain scans using a new radioactive dye can identify early indications of Alzheimer’s disease that may forecast future decline, according to findings from a multicenter study. More...

Molecular Breast Imaging May Provide Better Detection Than MRI for Women with Dense Breasts

According to a new study, molecular breast imaging, also known as breast-specific gamma imaging, may be a better option than MRI for women who have a new cancer diagnosis and dense breast tissue detected by mammography. More...
