Lung cancer and genes are related, but probably not in the way you might think.

June 14, 2021 -- PET imaging with a gallium-68 (Ga-68)-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) shows promise as an effective way to identify and monitor pulmonary fibrosis, according to animal study findings presented at the virtual 2021 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting. The technique could add molecular imaging to the lung disease toolbox -- and perhaps reduce the number of biopsies, said study lead author Carolina de Aguiar Ferreira, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in a statement released June 12 by the SNMMI. "Further valid...

Abstract Purpose: Functional lung mapping from Ga -ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) PET/CT, which has been shown to correlate with pulmonary function tests (PFTs), may be beneficial in a number of clinical applications where sparing regions of high lung function is of interest. Regions of clumping in the proximal airways in patients with airways disease can result in areas of focal intense activity and artefact in ventilation imaging. These artefacts may even shine through to subsequent perfusion images and create a challenge for quantitative analysis of PET imaging. We aimed to develop an automat...

In a direct comparison with gallium-68 (Ga-68) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT, MR imaging with a ferumoxtran-10 nanoparticle contrast agent (nano-MRI) identified significantly more suspected serious lymph nodes, as well as nodes that were significantly smaller. At the same time, the two approaches were fairly complementary, as they both discovered some lymph nodes the other modality missed. "Although there is no reference standard in this study, the main results mentioned above provide insight into the complementary performance of both modalities by identifying aspects where...
