Researchers in Germany have developed a fluorine-based tracer compound that can bind with high affinity to small clots, allowing doctors to image them using positron emission tomography (PET).
Blood clots can cause heart attacks and strokes....
Siemens won FDA clearance for its Biograph Horizon Flow edition, a budget friendly positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner that includes some advanced features of its more expensive cousin. The main selling point is...
Siemens is unveiling a new SPECT/CT (single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography) system in the coming days at the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging in Denver, Colorado. The Symbia...
GE Healthcare is releasing two new new molecular imaging systems, the Discovery MI, a PET/CT scanner and Discovery NM/CT 670 CZT, a SPECT/CT system.
The Discovery MI is a PET/CT that as some of its features offers a large field of view for...
Corvida Medical, a firm based in Coralville, Iowa, obtained FDA 510(k) clearance for the Halo Closed System Transfer Device, a product designed to prevent clinicians from being exposed to hazardous medications such as those used in...
Breast tumor resection typically comprises of two separate procedures to first localize the tumor and then to actually remove it. Once a physician identifies tumor location, a guidewire or a radioactive seed is positioned at the center of the...
GE Healthcare has announced that its new SIGNA PET/MR combination scanner is currently pending FDA clearance. The device performs both the MR and PET scans at the same time, allowing accurate mapping of images from the two modalities. The PET...
Philips has introduced its Vereos PET/CT fully digital positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging system at RSNA in Chicago this week. The newly FDA cleared Vereos uses digital photon counters instead of traditional analog...
Siemens has received FDA approval for its xSPECT system, a SPECT/CT system that fuses SPECT and CT data into a single dataset for improved image quality, reproducibility and alignment.
The system, first announced at the meeting of the Society of...
The business of ferrying tumor killing particles and depositing them on their targets has been a major part of nanotechnology research. Much of this work focuses on the particles themselves, exploring new ways for them to attack cancer cells, while...
Stress fractures of bones can be difficult to detect using traditional X-rays, but that doesn't prevent them from cracking further and causing great displeasure to the patients. Early detection can lead to preventative rehab, so radiologists at...
