Clarity reports on third cohort in copper theranostic trial
Clarity Pharmaceuticals has completed its third cohort in the theranostic SECuRE trial evaluating copper-64 (Cu-64) and copper-67 (Cu-67) sarcophagine chelator technology in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In this phase I/IIa trial of Cu-64 for the diagnostic and Cu-67 for the therapeutic, the company noted no dose-limiting toxicities in cohort 3, and an overall safety review of all cohorts 1, 2, and 3 also showed favorable safety profiles. Cohort 3 participants had the highest number of pretreatments prior to entering the study across all cohorts, with most patients receiving five or more l...

Image-to-text strategy helps ChatGPT read thyroid ultrasound images
Large language models integrated with image-to-text approaches could potentially improve diagnostic thyroid ultrasound interpretation, according to research published March 12 in Radiology.
A team led by Li-Da Chen, MD, PhD, from First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou found that ChatGPT 4.0 had the highest consistency and diagnostic accuracy when compared with Google Bard and ChatGPT 3.5 when it came to interpreting ultrasound images of thyroid nodules. Also, the image-to-text large language model strategy showed comparable performance to that of human large language model interaction involving t...

CT-FFR shows how smoking affects heart volume-to-myocardial mass ratio
Both current and former smokers show lower coronary volume-to-myocardial mass ratio (V/M) on CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR), researchers have found.
In a study published March 14 in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging, a team led by Kenneth Holmes, MD, of St Paul's Hospital and University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, reported that smoking was associated with lower coronary volume-to-myocardial mass ratio in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) -- results that further cement the link between smoking and heart disease.
"[We found that] current and former smoking were independently associated with ...
