Early knowledge of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) response to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is crucial for determining treatment success, timing of repeat treatment, and patient prognosis. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used 1-3 mo after treatment to evaluate anatomical tumor response, based upon changes in tumor size and contrast-agent enhancement. Alternatively, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can be used as a functional imaging technique to depict...
(Philadelphia, PA) - Clinical researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) are the first to combine fMRI and PET scanning in radiology, creating a way to compare different measurements of the brain's function concurrently. This analysis could lead to better diagnosis and treatment in patients suffering from brain disorders, like Alzheimer's disease."By using these two established methods, we now have an integrated way to look at the brain's functions,"...
TORONTO, Canada - The first imaging system to offer researchers three different imaging techniques in one instrument--allowing flexibility in configuring anatomical and functional imaging modalities that will best support their research objectives--was introduced at the Society of Nuclear Medicine's 52nd Annual Meeting June 18"“22 in Toronto. "For years researchers have been taking clinical imaging systems and retrofitting them so they could be used to image animals, and this approach...
