Liv Hospital integrates PET/CT diagnostics, radionuclide therapies and a multidisciplinary council to create individualized treatment plans for complex cancer and cardiac cases.

The molecule is a radioactive tracer that latches onto immune cells when they're activated -- the status that immune cells, in particular T cells, assume when they're poised to kill tumor cells. "It's ...

Imagine being able to watch organs and tissues work in real time. That's the power of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, a technology that gives physicians and researchers a window into ...

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.

Researchers in Japan are developing a medical camera that can simultaneously detect radioactive tracers used for PET and SPECT scans. The team has now demonstrated that the camera can image both ...

Molecular imaging specialist Jan Grimm says Cerenkov imaging could provide a cheaper, faster imaging approach for areas where access to PET scans is limited. Positron emission tomography (PET) is one ...

A patient checks into the hospital with difficulty breathing. Is inflammation to blame? How can physicians visualize areas of inflammation in the respiratory system in order to choose the best course ...

The ability to follow patients with this high sensitivity allows us to make a more accurate and precise measurement, and we can see small changes or see them in a shorter period of time…,” ...

At the Yale Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Center, an ultra-high-performance brain-dedicated scanner called the NeuroEXPLORER (NX) is redefining what is possible in brain PET imaging. With a ...
