''Last week delivered some disconcerting news for people with a specific, strong inherited high risk for developing cancer. An analysis published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that young women with BRCA mutations are more likely to develop ...'

''Disease-free survival for invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC) patients may be easier to predict with the help of F-18-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans, according to research published in the September ...'

''What if treating skin cancer was just a matter of wearing a patch for a few hours? At this year's Society of Nuclear Medicine's Annual Meeting one group of researchers presented such a patch. The patch is infused with phosphorus-32, a radioactive isotope ...'

''A study revealed at the Society of Nuclear Medicine's 59th Annual Meeting provides some hope for those with a malignant brain cancer called glioma.A method of molecular imaging that mimics an essential amino acid in the brain can now gauge whether the ...'

''With MRI scans becoming cheaper and more common, perhaps the days of the CT scan that does a similar function using X-Rays rather than magnetic fields, are numbered. A report shows that the cancer risk from CT scans, especially Brain Cancer and Leukemia ...'

''The first phase of a clinical testing a new imaging device — that doesn’t use X-rays — has been found to successfully detect malignancies in breasts using a combination of near infrared light and ultrasound. Currently X-ray mammography plays a ...'

''Photoacoustic imaging is starting to be used on human patients, and the technology could revolutionize medical imaging in clinical practice – from early-stage cancer detection, to neurology and label-free histology. That was the message from the ...'

''According to the authors of recent research published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, PET and PET/CT have revolutionized the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of treatment effect or recurrence for a wide range of cancers and shown promise for ...'
