F-18 FAPI PET/CT upstages more newly-diagnosed breast cancers

AuntMinnie

F-18 fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT leads to significant upstaging in newly diagnosed breast cancer, according to research published September 5 in Academic Radiology. The team put F-18 FAPI PET/CT to the test, comparing results to those of F-18 FDG PET/CT in systemic staging of newly diagnosed breast cancer.

Novel molecular imaging tool objectively measures and diagnoses smell disorders

ScienceDaily

Targeting the olfactory nerve, the new tool has potential to eliminate biopsies used to diagnose certain anosmia conditions and to aid in the development of therapeutic interventions. A new fluorescent imaging probe can for the first time objectively and non-invasively measure loss of smell, clinically known as anosmia.

Can PET help diagnose neurosarcoidosis?

AuntMinnie

F-18 FDG-PET is an established approach for diagnosing inflammation based on its ability to visualize increased cellular glucose metabolism, and the researchers hypothesized that it could be useful in patients with neurosarcoidosis.

Quantitative ultrasound parameters offer new tool for diagnosing lung disease

Medical Xpress: Radiology

The researchers also demonstrated that the parameters can be used to accurately diagnose and assess the severity of lung diseases in an animal model. Researchers have established a suite of parameters that can be determined using ultrasound to quantitatively measure different physical characteristics of the lung.

Hospital pneumonia diagnoses are uncertain, revised more than half the time, study finds

ScienceDaily

An AI-based analysis of over 2 million hospital visits has found that most of the time, a pneumonia diagnosis made in the hospital will change from a patient's entrance to their discharge -- either because someone who was initially diagnosed with pneumonia ended up with a different final diagnosis, or because a final diagnosis of pneumonia was missed (..)
