Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have received a five-year $6.2 million grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, to build a portable, high-resolution ...

PET/CT scanners have become an invaluable imaging tool in clinical oncology because of their ability to measure metabolic activity and evaluate potentially malignant cells. This is not the case for ...

Traditionally PET imaging has been offered with one, two, three or even four rings of detectors with gaps between the rings. MR Solutions, the independent world leader in preclinical imaging, is now ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging typically requires a bulky machine with a doughnut-shaped scanner through which a patient passes on a movable bed. A system newly cleared by the FDA, however ...

PET scans can detect amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain, which are often early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. But they’re not enough on their own to make a diagnosis. Alzheimer’s disease is ...

Colquitt Regional Health System recently announced the acquisition of the Siemens Biograph Vision PET/CT scanner, a ...

The groundbreaking new technology offers patients streamlined care and advanced detection of cancer and neurological conditions. Some MRI scans can take up to three hours, and the average PET scan can ...

PET scans can light up tumors in the body and help doctors determine if they are cancerous or benign (noncancerous). The results of a PET scan help guide medical decisions. A PET scan is a type of ...

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 ...
