PET/MR update for added value in theranostics

Bringing diagnostics and therapy closer together - that is the basic concept behind theranostics. Through further development of its PET/MR scanners, Siemens Healthineers aims to advance this approach. Andreas Schneck, Head of the MRI Division at Siemens Healthineers, talks about the new system, which was also presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, and its advantages in…

Nuclear medicine: Innovations, challenges, and new horizons

Nuclear medicine (NM), one of the more mature technologies of diagnostic imaging, has been experiencing a rebirth in innovation and interest. The increasing prevalence of cancer,, an aging global population, and greater longevity, has created a robust demand for nuclear medicine. At ECR in Vienna, presenters explored market perspectives, but also safety and sustainability challenges.

Cryoablation: A treatment option for low-risk early-stage breast cancer

Cryoablation, the destruction of malignant cancer cells by freezing them, is increasingly becoming an alternative to having conventional lumpectomy for patients diagnosed with early-stage, localised, low-risk breast cancer. Findings from numerous recent clinical trials show that cancer recurrence rates are very low and are comparable to breast conservation surgery (BCS).
