Harrison.ai raised AU$179 million (US$112 million) in a series C round to expand its radiology and pathology solutions across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.

Prostate cancer is still one of the main causes of cancer death among men; while prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing is done for screening, there are recommendations against its use due to its nonspecific and suboptimal results.

Radiopharm Theranostics Ltd.’s radiotracer RAD-101 (F18-Pivalate) successfully detected brain metastases in a variety of primary solid tumors in a phase II study.

A 1,000-person study using Heartflow Inc. technology demonstrated that findings of coronary plaque on heart CT scans could indicate which patients were at risk of cardiovascular events up to seven years in the future – potentially providing a road map toward screening for heart disease, the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. and worldwide.

Curently the only available blood test to tell which women are at risk of postpartum depression (PPD) is the one that confirms their pregnancy – and a one in seven chance of developing the condition which can have long-term implications for both mother and child. Research out of the University of Virginia and Weill Cornell Medicine could soon change that by identifying biomarkers in the third trimester of pregnancy that indicate which women have the greatest risk of developing PPD.

Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and affiliated organizations have published preclinical data for [18F]CNL-02, a positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand targeting mitochondrial complex I (MC-I) that is being developed for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
