    PET imaging improves oligometastatic breast cancer detection over conventional imaging, according to a post-hoc analysis presented June 21 at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) meeting in New Orleans, LA. In his presentation, Ur Metser, MD, from the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, discussed his team’s findings on how PET imaging finds oligometastatic disease (OMD) in women 2.5 times more often than conventional imaging.

  • SNMMI: PET/MRI helps manage patients with chronic spinal pain

    4 days ago | buff.ly | Will Morton |Amerigo Allegretto |Liz Carey

    NEW ORLEANS – F-18 FDG-PET/MRI can identify previously unknown foci that generate chronic spinal pain and enable targeted interventions, according to a June 22 presentation at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2025 annual meeting. Fatemeh Rashidi, MD, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, discussed a study involving 23 patients with chronic spinal pain refractory to several standard-of-care therapies who underwent simultaneous PET/MRI scans.
