New 'tracers' improve diagnosis of cancer and may be useful for treatment

(Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging) Researchers have identified two new nuclear medicine tracers that make it easier to diagnose and potentially treat multiple types of cancer, providing high-quality images with less patient preparation and shorter acquisition times. The research is featured in the March issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (http://jnm.snmjournals.org).
