FAPI-PET bests FDG-PET in detecting gastrointestinal cancer
Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-PET/CT appears superior to standard FDG-PET/CT for detecting gastrointestinal cancer, with higher radiotracer uptake seen in most tumors, according to a study published October 26 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. In a clinical trial, researchers in Xiamen, China, compared the two approaches for detecting primary and metastatic tumors in patients with confirmed gastric, liver, or pancreatic cancer.“The use of F-18 FAPI-74 PET/CT is expected to improve the diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer and contribute to individualized patient care,” wrote senior author Haojun Chen,...

Closing the loop on incidental imaging findings
The low completion rate for follow-up recommendations on incidental findings detected on imaging exams has long been a thorny challenge in radiology. In an effort to tackle this problem and increase the percentage of patients who adhere to follow-up imaging recommendations, researchers have identified the factors that influence noncompletion rates and have turned to techniques such as AI and commercial software applications to help close the loop.For example, a group from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY, recently shared results from using their Backstop recommendation tracking system to directly notify patie...
