Lowering the dose: PET images reconstructed with CT-free techniques (left two columns) and with the use of CT images (centre column). The right two columns show difference images between attenuation ...

A PET scan is often used to help determine a cancer diagnosis. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan uses a tracer with low levels of radiation to find places in your body where cells are ...

June 30, 2003 (New Orleans) — Researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have unveiled a viable positron emission tomography (PET) scan produced in three minutes that a ...

Researchers have developed a same-day, noninvasive PET-based imaging approach to assess PD-L1 positive tumors, which could help guide cancer treatment decisions and assess treatment response.

Each week day throughout the United States, health centers typically perform some 7,500 or more bone scans using a nuclear isotope, technetium-99m, to search for areas of rapid bone growth, which ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) scans can detect cancer earlier than other imaging tests. But some types of cancer are harder to detect on a PET scan. In particular, they may miss cancers that ...

Dr. Jean-Luc Urbain has worked in nuclear medicine for more than 30 years in three countries. He is a recognized leader in the field — he was recently elected president-elect of the World Federation ...
