Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of imaging scan that doctors might use when diagnosing and treating non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It can be useful for identifying and staging the cancer.

For men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer, PSMA PET has a moderate sensitivity but very high specificity for identifying lymph nodes in the pelvis that harbor prostate cancer; this means that an ...

Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe ...

A head-to-head comparative study of multiple imaging modalities suggests that positron emission tomography (PET) is the most accurate noninvasive test for the detection of myocardial ischemia. In a ...

A nuclear medicine technique that measures the metabolic activity of cells in body tissues has been making strides in the battle against cancer. Positron emission tomography, commonly known as PET, is ...

Identifying Alzheimer's disease before major symptoms arise is critical to preserving brain function and helping patients maintain quality of life. A new study demonstrates that a single dual ...

Before you take that walk or ride a bike, think again--especially if you will be undergoing a positron emission tomography (PET) scan any time soon. "Any type of physical activity--from tapping your ...

ctDNA-MRD testing better predicted outcomes versus PET/CT scans for large B-cell lymphoma, leading to NCCN guideline updates for remission assessment. A minimal measurable residual disease (MRD) ...

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a nuclear diagnostic tool that examines body tissue functioning, such as blood flow, oxygen use, and sugar metabolism, to help doctors diagnose and treat ...

In the study, the researchers analyzed beta-amyloid and tau by using PET scans, an advanced form of imaging technology that can be used to measure Alzheimer-specific proteins in the brain. The 12,000 ...
