PET scans are frequently used in the medical community and oncology. Today PET imaging is used in combination with computerized axial tomography for more accurate results. PET has been adopted in the treatment of lymphomas, where it’s often incorporated in treatment for Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. PET scans are used in staging and treating lymphomas

COVID-19 is often diagnosed through RT-PCR testing. Now some experts are arguing that CT scans can help to diagnose Covid-19. But others disagree with them. The covid-19 epidemic continues to spread all over the world, killing many people as nations strive to find cure or vaccination. Diagnosing people with SARS-CoV-2 early is key to combating

A combination of imaging technology and a new drug can help light up lung cancer cells in the body to find hidden stray lung cancer cells. A preliminary study discovered that the new combination, known as intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI), helped surgeons to improve patient outcomes. The drug used in IMI is known as OTL38

PSMA positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PSMAPET-CT) was found to be 27% more accurate compared to conventional CT and bone scans. This was discovered in a phase 3 study conducted to detect distant metastases in high-risk prostate cancer patients. According to research, PSMA PET-CT can help stage men with high risk localized prostate cancer more accurately

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans help to detect cancer sites by obtaining images of cell activity in the body. During the procedure, the patient is intravenously injected with a tracer containing sugar and radioactive material in small amounts. As cancer cells absorb more radioactive sugar, the tracer will light up. A special camera will scan

Investigators are seeking to define the correlation between lung cancer screening methods and mortality rates. Lung cancer is prevalent in the world, causing major concerns in the economy and public health in many regions. The disease is often diagnosed late when it has already metastasized. Lung cancer is attributed to cigarette smoking, although other factors

PET (positron emission tomography) scans help to deliver clear images of the biological functions of the body. They help to detect disease quicker compared to other imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. A PET scan is a highly technological nuclear procedure that is very safe with no known potential

Netspot® is a new imaging technology that helps to accurately diagnose neuroendocrine tumors early. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) come from hormone-producing cells in various organs in the body. Some are slow-growing and can be cured. But others will enlarge and metastasize without causing any symptoms. Early diagnosis is the only way to get them treated. A

A Netspot scan is a novel PET tracer used to detect neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), even the smallest lesions better than any other imaging. Neuroendocrine tumors are quite small and hard to find in their early stages. They can grow anywhere in the body, including the pancreas, stomach, lungs, intestines. Neuroendocrine tumors have cells with many

A Low-dose CT Scan Can Detect Hidden Lung Cancer A low-dose CT scan can help identify lung cancer in smokers with no noticeable symptoms. This helps to find the disease early and administer the right treatment to the patient. The scan is recommended for 55 to 78-year-old smokers or those who quit smoking 15 years
