Images show a palpable mass in the left breast in a 55-year-old woman. (A) Mammography shows a 26-mm ill-defined mass with fine linear calcifications in the central portion of the left breast (arrows). (B) ultrasound shows a 23-mm hypoechoic mass with calcifications in the corresponding area accompanying palpability (between the arrows). (C) An axial, fat-saturated, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI scan shows an 18-mm irregular heterogeneous enhancing mass in the left breast (arrows). After breast-conserving surgery, the final pathologic report confirmed a grade II estrogen receptor–negative, progesterone receptor–negative, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive invasive ductal carcinoma. There was no lymphovascular invasion, and the resection margins were clear. The patient declined both adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy due to psychologic distress. (D) 11 months later, surveillance ultrasound helped to detect a new 25-mm irregular hypoechoic mass at the 12-o’clock position in the left breast (arrows). A subsequent ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed it as a recurrence of grade II invasive ductal carcinoma, maintaining the same receptor statuses. Images courtesy of the RSNA.

Representative images from diagnostic analysis of deep learning (DL)-based CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). (A-D) Representative images in a 51-year-old woman with stable angina at presentation. (A) Curved planar reformation and (B) three-dimensional maximum intensity projection images show severe stenosis of the opening left anterior descending artery (arrow). (C) Fractional flow reserve (FFR) determined with invasive coronary angiography helps confirm that there was no hemodynamic significance of the opening left anterior descending artery lesion (arrow). (D) Dynamic CT MPI provided functional information to identify hemodynamically significant stenosis with reference to invasive FFR. Myocardial blood flow (MBF) derived from DL-based CT MPI revealed the absence of decreased myocardial perfusion of the left anterior descending artery territory (the areas outlined in black represent the myocardium subtended by the left anterior descending stenosis, and the color bar is a graphical scale that maps MBF ranges). (E-H) Representative images in a 62-year-old man with exertional chest pain at presentation. (E) Curved planar reformation and (F) three-dimensional maximum intensity projection images show moderate stenosis of the middle left anterior descending artery (arrow). (G) FFR determined at invasive coronary angiography helps confirm that the middle left anterior descending lesion was hemodynamically significant (arrow). (H) Dynamic CT MPI provided functional information to identify hemodynamically significant stenosis with reference to invasive FFR. DL-based CT MPI showed a reduction in MBF within the middle and basal anterior wall of the left anterior descending artery territory (the areas outlined in black represent the myocardium with decreased perfusion, and the color bar is a graphical scale that maps MBF ranges). MBFDL = MBF derived from the DL model.

SPECT/CT predicts overall survival in Pluvicto patients
By Will Morton

April 25, 2025
Patient examples of SPECT/CT and PET/CT RECIP 1.0. (A) SPECT and PET maximum-intensity projection (MIP) images in 74-year-old man with mCRPC. Serum PSA level at baseline was 449 ng/mL and slightly increased to 525 ng/mL after two cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score was 2 at baseline and increased to 3 after 2 cycles. The patient was classified by readers as RECIP-progressive disease on both SPECT and PET. Overall survival was 4.7 months. Two cycles of Lu-177 PSMA were administered. (B) SPECT and PET MIP images in 74-year-old man with mCRPC. Serum PSA level was 231 ng/mL at baseline and decreased to 12.5 ng/mL after 2 cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. ECOG score was less than 2 at baseline and after 2 cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. The patient was classified by readers as RECIP-partial response on both SPECT and PET. Overall survival was 14.3 months. Four cycles of Lu-177 PSMA were administered.
