Increased NIV Molecular Imaging Technologies Needed for Cancer Care

According to researchers in the US, new molecular imaging technologies can facilitate the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of cancer, while at the same time reducing the frequency of unnecessary or ineffective therapies and minimizing side effects. More...

Research Shows Radiotherapy Dampens Immune Response

A new study shows that while radiotherapy (RT) elicits an immune response that kills tumor cells, it also boosts immunosuppressive cells, which dampen the anti-tumor immunity. More...

Diagnosis of Cardiac Sarcoidosis Improved by Diet Prior to Imaging

Researchers in the US have discovered that they can increase the certainty of diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis, if from 72 hours until the diagnostic imaging exam the patients are subject to a high-fat, low-sugar diet. More...

Printed Kidney Phantoms Aid Radiation Dosing Calibration

A new study suggests that three dimensional (3D) printed kidney phantoms could help determine calibration constants in quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/ computerized tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging. More...
