Lucerno use of electronic Quality Management System published as a case study by the software vendor, Greenlight Guru.

Josh Knowland of Lucerno Dynamics delivered an oral presentation on quantification and monitoring of RA disease progression with simple topical detectors during SNMMI 2019 mid-winter meeting in California.

“Since the quality and quantification of PET/CT studies are of clinical importance, sensor measurements acquired during the FDG uptake may prove to be a useful quality control measure to reduce infiltration rates and potentially improve patient care.” Full Text

In the October 1, 2018 JNM the SNMMI Annual Meeting Highlights Lecture is featured in an article. Two of the 12 most significant General Nuclear Medicine presentations during the 2018 SNMMI Annual Meeting were Lucerno presentations regarding our Multi-center Quality Improvement Project. Dr. Jacene’s selection of these two presentations suggests the importance of the topic and the findings.

Physics World published a research update news story on the 8/23/18 AIF article, after interviewing Lucerno co-founder Josh Knowland.

“In experiments with phantom models, the prototype provided accurate measurements of β-emitting radiotracer concentration. The design will be refined for in vivo testing. The ability to routinely gather blood input function data would facilitate the adoption of kinetic modeling of PET data.” Full Text

“The quality and accuracy of the PET/CT image is important to oncologists and their patients. Our center’s 13.3% infiltration rate was similar to published rates. Using new technology led to significant and sustainable improvement in PET/CT radiotracer injections with minimal patient/procedure disruptions. Since a proper injection is critical to the PET/Ct image, ongoing monitoring of the injection is essential.” Poster

The Uptake newsletter of the SNMMI Technologist Section publishes an article written by two technologists that participated in Lucerno’s multi-center quality improvement project Lara^®-QI that describes their experiences as front-line users of Lara^® System.
