There may be no such thing as recreational “safe jumping” for children on trampolines, according to research delivered May 9 at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting. Neetika Gupta, MD, a pediatric radiologist at the University of Toronto, presented a pictorial guide of injuries seen on imaging. She said that although radiologists have extensively discussed and documented these injuries, a gap remains in the comprehensive discussion of “head-to-toe” imaging in the pediatric pop

The protein galectin-1 (Gal-1) has been identified as a new PET imaging biomarker for immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, allowing physicians to predict the tumor responses before beginning treatment. Information garnered from Gal-1 PET imaging could also be used to facilitate patient stratification and optimize immunotherapy, enabling targeted interventions and improving patient outcomes.
