While liver biopsies are powerful and reliable, they are also invasive, painful, limited and subject to complications. These effects may soon be a thing of the past for some patients thanks to new research showing positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the 18F-FAC radiotracer can be used as a non-invasive substitute. The study is featured in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Optimized for both oncology and radiology applications, the FCT Embrace, combined with other oncology solutions, offers enhanced and efficient CT simulation with radiotherapy treatment planning capabilities. The unveiling during the 2018 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting, Oct. 21-24 in San Antonio, Texas, marks Fujifilm’s entry into the CT market.
Varian announced its new single-room proton therapy system, ProBeam 360°, at the 2018 American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting, Oct. 21-24 in San Antonio, Texas. With a 30 percent smaller footprint than the previous system, ProBeam 360° offers uncompromised clinical capabilities, according to Varian, while reducing vault construction costs by approximately 25 percent. The new system has a 360-degree rotating gantry, a powerful particle accelerator, iterative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and high-definition pencil-beam scanning technology. The system can also provide clinicians a viable path to potential next-generation treatments such as Flash therapy.
