A novel artificial intelligence method can be used to generate high-quality “PET/CT” images and subsequently decrease radiation exposure to the patient. Developed by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the method bypasses the need for CT-based attenuation correction, potentially allowing for more frequent PET imaging to monitor disease and treatment progression without radiation exposure from CT […]

A new PET imaging agent, 18F-AlF-FAPI-74, has been found to effectively monitor and predict treatment response of an up-and-coming cancer therapy. This non-invasive imaging approach has the potential to help inform important clinical decision-making early in the course of treatment – including re-dosing of therapy, dose optimization, change of therapeutic course, and many more – […]

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) announced the creation of the Mars Shot Fund, an initiative to raise $100 million to help pay for research into nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, and therapy. To date the fund has received $600,000 in grants and pledges, and work is underway to increase US federal spending […]

Sophos, a global leader in cybersecurity, has published a new sectoral survey report, “The State of Ransomware in Healthcare 2022.” The findings reveal that ransomware attacks on health organizations almost doubled from 34% in 2020 to 66% in 2021.
