Sectra

Sectra of Linköping, Sweden, will present its Sectra MicroDose Mammography full-field digital system, designed for high-volume screening environments.

Sectra

The system's detector absorbs almost 100% of the x-ray photons that strike it, which results in much lower radiation dose, according to the company.

The first system was installed in September 2003 at a Swedish hospital, with another unit going into a German facility in May, and two other units scheduled for installation in Germany in December. The system does not yet have FDA clearance.

Sectra said it has also enhanced its PACS software to accommodate soft-copy requirements for breast imaging. Specialized workflow and productivity capabilities have been added to Sectra PACS workstation software to handle digital mammography studies, according to the firm.

FAPI-PET/CT outperforms FDG-PET/CT in women with invasive breast cancer
By Will Morton
PET/CT imaging using gallium-68 FAPI radiotracer over F-18 FDG appears promising in women with invasive lobular carcinoma.

(A) A 42-year-old patient with multicentric primary lesions (encircled), regional (solid arrows), and distant inferior jugular lymph node (dashed arrows) seen on F-18 FDG-PET and subsequently confirmed on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also revealed additional malignant foci aligned with MRI. Some lesions exhibited high activity retention on Ga-68 FAPI-PET. (B) A 53-year-old patient showing no significant uptake on F-18 FDG-PET but synchronous bilateral lesions (arrows) on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also identified pathologic lymph nodes (encircled), resulting in upstaging.
