PIONEERING LOW-COST MEDICAL SCANNER DEVELOPED IN THE UK
A new type of medical imaging camera which is much less expensive than its conventional counterpart has been developed by researchers funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The imaging method - positron emission tomography - is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis of many diseases, especially cancer.Clinical... view more... (2000-07-10)
Serum carcinoembryonic antigen level can reflect adrenal adenoma
The female patient, reported on the December 7 issue 45 of World J Gastroenterology, presented a rare case, with symptoms consistent with hyperadrenocorticism and hypercatecholaminism, and also had a Cushingoid appearance. view more (2007-11-26)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2005-07-27)
Neuroimaging provides insights into new treatment options for Alzheimer's disease
With about 35 million people around the world suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) by the year 2010 and an expectation that these numbers will double every twenty years with approximately 115 million cases by 2050, pressure on healthcare systems worldwide will be intense. view more (2009-11-11)
MRI/PET Scanner Combo
Two kinds of body imaging -- positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) -- have been combined for the first time in a single scanner. view more (2008-03-10)
New possibilities for breast cancer treatment on the horizon
he first patient scans from a custom-built scanner combining positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) technologies indicate that these scans could significantly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities and lead to more targeted treatment options, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting. view more (2008-06-17)
Imaging technology helps identify esophageal cancer patients who respond well to treatment
New research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center shows that Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is more accurate than conventional imaging in identifying patients who have good responses to chemotherapy and radiation treatment - a finding that could one day help some patients avoid surgery. view more (2006-03-22)
Many colorectal cancer survivors do not receive recommended follow-up care
A new analysis reveals that fewer than half of older patients successfully treated for colorectal cancer receive the recommended screening schedule to detect any recurrence of cancer. view more (2008-09-08)
PET/CT scan could be valuable noninvasive tool for determining stages of ovarian cancer
Combined positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scanning of patients in the early stages of ovarian cancer can enable physicians to determine whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes without having to perform surgery. view more (2008-06-17)
Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For example, the model shows that reducing the amount... view more...

MNI researchers find that sense of smell is dependent on body position
Before giving flowers or scattering rose petals on Valentine's Day, make sure your significant other has already gotten out of bed. view more (2006-02-03)
Less invasive methods may provide accurate means to determine lung cancer stage
An evaluation of several endoscopic biopsy methods suggests that a "minimally invasive" approach may accurately determine the stage of suspected lung cancer, according to a study in the February 6 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-02-06)
University of Kent bioscientists receive grant to research novel cancer treatment
Dr Phil Blower and Dr Dan Lloyd from the Department of Biosciences at the University of Kent - together with Dr Paul Marsden at the St Thomas' Hospital Clinical PET Centre in London - have been awarded £347,906 from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Medical Research Council for a project entitled Radiocopper... view more...

Quantum physics pioneer honoured in Bristol
According to a current magazine advertisement, quantum physics is getting easier. It’s doubtful whether most of the population would agree with this. However, today (12 December) in Bristol, one of the pioneers of quantum physics, Noble prize-winner Paul Dirac, is being commemorated in two separate ceremonies. The first is in the Bishopston... view more... (2000-12-08)
PET imaging significantly enhances standard imaging in lung cancer staging
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a useful diagnostic tool that supports the need for more accurate staging of lung cancer and improved treatment for patients, concludes an extensive systematic review published online today in Journal of National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-11-28)
Just-Right PET/CT Imaging for Patients of All Sizes
Researchers discovered that diagnostic accuracy of images can be improved for people of varying weight and size with use of a fully 3-D, time-of-flight positron emission tomography (PET) with computed tomography (CT) scanner. view more (2006-06-05)
From Physics to Physicians
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC) and the UK Health Departments have signed a concordat to formally recognise and explore the potential for collaboration in technological areas of common interest. The Concordat, signed by Professor Ian Halliday, Chief Executive of PPARC and Professor Sir John Pattison, Director of... view more... (2002-05-22)
An excellent response to BNCT treatment in head and neck cancer
A Finnish research group has been the first in the world to publish an article in which BNCT treatment has had an excellent response in a patient with head and neck cancer for whom there was no other treatment available. The case report has been published in the June issue of the prestigious Radiotherapy and Oncology no. 72 (2004) pp. 83 - 84. view more (2004-09-14)
Europe to tackle brain disorder research by linking industry, academia
Attempts to cure brain-related disorders have proved less successful than therapies for other major conditions such as heart cancer, even though just as many people suffer from them. view more (2007-11-28)
Bone drug could help prevent the spread of breast cancer
Maintaining bone density could be a key to decreasing the spread of cancer in women with locally advanced breast cancer, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-05-19)
