MIM Software Inc. recently announced significant updates to its MIM Encore solution for viewing nuclear medicine images. The vendor-neutral application offers viewing of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT, PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and general nuclear medicine images. Physicians and technologists can streamline the nuclear medicine workflow by viewing and processing images in tandem using this single-platform solution.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) released a statement last week strongly opposing the extensive cuts to cancer research and Medicaid funding in the Fiscal Year 2018 budget released by the White House. The association said these substantial reductions in support for medical research and care would destabilize the progress toward finding cures and negatively impact cancer patients across the country.
Kubtec announced recently that the U.S. Patent Office has granted the company an additional patent for its technology used for breast specimen imaging using 3-D tomosynthesis.

Patients who were implanted with the BioZorb 3-D bioabsorbable marker during their lumpectomy could be treated with smaller radiation volumes than patients who did not receive the marker, according to new research. The findings were presented at the recent American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) annual meeting, April 26-30 in Las Vegas. The difference in volumes was statistically significant.
According to a new study presented at the American College of Radiology (ACR) annual meeting, the use of follow-up imaging is significantly less when initial emergency department (ED) ultrasound examinations are interpreted by a radiologist than a nonradiologist. The work, conducted by researchers at the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute, was named an ACR 2017 Gold Merit Abstract Award recipient in the Advocacy, Economics and Health Policy category.

A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of the safety ramifications of gadolinium-based contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not identified adverse health affects from gadolinium retained in the brain. The FDA released a drug safety communication regarding all gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) earlier this week.
A research team funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) has engineered a small peptide that binds to a protein found in high-risk prostate cancers. By linking the peptide to a clinically used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, the group used MRI to identify aggressive, metastatic tumors in mouse models of prostate cancer. The system is a promising step for reliable early detection and treatment of high-risk, life-threatening prostate cancer.
Fourteen members of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) took to Capitol Hill recently to express the society’s support for a bill that would expand access to government-funded graduate medical education (GME) opportunities to newly recognized primary specialties, including interventional radiology.
