Dual-energy CT (DECT) is not new, in fact, says Benjamin Yeh, MD, it has been around just as long as computed tomography (CT) has. What is new is that CT scanners can capture DECT quickly and with good image quality. He discusses new applications of DECT along with his lab's translational research group focusing on the exploration and development of novel CT techniques.

Recently, scientists from the UC San Francisco Departments of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, Urology and Radiation Oncology came together to study the impact of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET on post radical prostatectomy (RP) salvage radiotherapy.

Scientists at UCSF and UCLA designed a single-arm prospective trial on 635 patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer to assess the accuracy of ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET.

 New screening guidelines from the American Cancer Society (ACS) recommend tests such as virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography) every five years for those of average risk beginning at age 45.
