Molecular imaging detects ischemic heart disease in diabetics
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—Research introduced at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting may lead to much-needed cardiovascular disease screening for diabetic patients at risk of ischemic heart disease, a disorder marked by significantly reduced blood flow in the heart. Ischemia of the myocardium, or cardiac muscle, can signal diminished oxygenation of the heart tissue and trigger a heart attack if left untreated.
"Diabetes is a serious risk factor for ischemic heart disease," says Kenji Fukushima, MD, PhD, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan. "Most diabetic patients ...
Near infrared fluorescence lights up hidden blood clots
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—Research presented at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting may mark the expansion of a novel imaging agent for an optical technique called near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF), which uses light energy to glean information about cells and tissues. NIRF combined with the newly synthesized agent can image dangerous blood clots hiding inside elusive veins, most commonly within the deep tissues of the thighs and pelvis, but potentially also in the coronary arteries. The agent uses a biomarker that seeks out a peptide (the building blocks of proteins) called ...
Kazawest Announces The Addition Of A Premium North Vancouver Property To Its Strata Management Portfolio
2011-06-07
Kazawest Services Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of a residential development, in the North Vancouver Lynn Valley district, to its strata management portfolio.
Through its integrated real estate services, strength in customer service and deep knowledge of building operations, Kazawest is leading the property management sector in British Columbia.
"We are pleased the strata council for this property has chosen Kazawest's property management services," states Amyn Somani, CEO of Kazawest. "There is a great sense of community at this development, ...
Molecular imaging detects signs of genetic heart disease before symptoms arise
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—Research being presented at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting shows that molecular imaging is helping to determine the cause and expand treatment for a silent killer. A study focusing on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—a cardiovascular disorder that causes a thickening of the heart muscle—is proving that the effects of a genetic mutation may be an important key to understanding the disease. In related research, a treatment called alcohol septal ablation is being revealed as an effective treatment for severe cases of HCM.
"These studies show ...
Fewer amputations in diabetic patients with dual isotope SPECT/CT
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—Research introduced at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting reveals the extent to which an ongoing study can help save life and limb for patients with diabetes-related foot infections. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and reduced blood flow to the bones and tissues of the feet, leaving diabetics vulnerable to infection. This study shows that combining two imaging agents with molecular imaging techniques provides diabetic patients an excellent infection screening method that has already spared a number of patients from aggressive amputation of infected ...
Molecular imaging provides fast and effective diagnosis for patients with fever of unknown origin
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—Research presented at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting highlights molecular imaging's diagnostic potential for patients with fever of unknown origin. Persistent fever can be a warning sign for a range of diseases that could be dangerous if left untreated. A single, full-body molecular imaging scan may give physicians everything they need to narrow down the cause and determine appropriate treatment.
"Molecular imaging is used widely throughout the world for oncology, as well as cardiology and neurology, but our research shows that it could be ...
Molecular imaging pinpoints source of chronic back pain
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—A study introduced at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting shows potential relief for patients who suffer chronic pain after back surgery. A molecular imaging procedure that combines functional and anatomical information about the body is able to zero in on the site of abnormal bone reaction and provide more accurate diagnoses and appropriate pain management for patients who have received hardware implants or bone grafts.
"With PET/CT we can pinpoint the exact screw or rod that was loose or failing. We can help doctors and patients accurately decide ...
Greater cancer detection is possible with 4-D PET image reconstruction
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—A study introduced at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting is advancing a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging method that uses new 4D image reconstruction to achieve the highest diagnostic capability for the detection of cancer. Mounting evidence shows that PET imaging, which provides visual representations of bodily functions, is significantly more sensitive when used with cutting-edge 4D image reconstruction technology that accounts for patient respiration and produces clearer, more easily interpreted images.
"PET imaging with 4D image ...
Hybrid PET and MRI imaging on the horizon
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—Preliminary research presented at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting is breaking new ground for the development of a brand new hybrid molecular imaging system. Simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is providing important diagnostic information about soft tissues and physiological functions throughout the body. Scans focused on screening suspicious lesions for cancer are already comparable to more conventional molecular imaging methods. Further research could lead to the clinical use of PET/MRI as an ...
Irregular breathing can affect accuracy of 4-D PET/CT
2011-06-07
San Antonio, Texas (June 6, 2011)—A study presented at SNM's 58th Annual Meeting focuses on the effect that breathing irregularities have on the accuracy of 4D positron emission tomography (PET) scans and outlines a PET imaging method that reduces "motion artifacts" or image blurring arising from respiratory motion. Non-gated PET imaging with 4D computed tomography may be useful for imaging patients who do not benefit from the use of respiratory gating, most notably patients with erratic breathing.
"Breathing irregularities can lead to significantly underestimated lesion ...
