PSMA PET Improves Decision Making for Prostate Cancer Treatment
PSMA PET mapping of cancer recurrence in the prostate bed shows that current radiotherapy contouring guidelines—which determine the target areas for treatment—miss a significant number of lesions and may unnecessarily irradiate healthy tissues, according to a new study published ahead of print in JNM. Researchers are calling for redefinition of the guidelines to improve patient outcomes. (Press Releases) - March 21, 2023 —
New Compact and Low-Cost Lensless Radiomicroscope Developed for Nuclear Medicine Imaging
A novel, palm-sized imaging modality that can visualize the distribution of medical radiopharmaceuticals with very fine resolution has been developed and successfully tested, according to research published in March JNM. Known as the lensless radiomicroscope, the instrument offers the same level of imaging performance as its closest imaging equivalent but comes with significantly larger field of view and costs less than $100.

Novel PET Radiotracer Successfully Detects Multiple Cancers, Offers Potential for New Targeted Radionuclide Therapy
A new radiotracer, Ga-68 FAP-2286, has been found to be more effective than the most commonly used nuclear medicine cancer imaging radiotracer, F-18 FDG, according to a study published in JNM. Ga-68 FAP-2286 detected 100 percent of primary tumors across multiple cancer types as compared to F-18 FDG, which identified only 80 percent. Ga-68 FAP-2286 was also more effective in detecting lymph node metastases and distant metastases. (Press Releases) - March 15, 2023 —
