Small hepatic lesions mostly benign in female breast cancer patients
By N. Shivapriya
In female breast cancer patients, interval follow-up imaging rather than imaging workup or biopsy should be performed for hepatic lesions that are "too small to characterize" (TSTC) on CT. More so if it is stage 0 breast cancer and there are no clinical findings supporting suspicion of liver metastasis, according to recommendations by researchers from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

PET/CT provides cost-savings for NSCLC radiotherapy
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
PET/CT technology has been demonstrating superior diagnostic and staging capabilities for various malignancies in scientific studies. But the technology comes at a steep price point, and models for its economic efficiencies are still being created. However, researchers from Canada have found PET/CT to be cost-effective in radiation therapy planning for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

VC CAD matches prone and supine imaging data
By Eric Barnes
Rewriting a page from standard clinical practice, CAD developers are using automated matching of prone and supine virtual colonoscopy datasets as their primary method of reducing false-positive candidates. And the nascent technique worked reasonably well, so long as the data were relatively free of collapsed segments and residual fecal matter.

Interventionalists see safer RFA with coregistered laparoscopic US, CT
By Eric Barnes
BERLIN - Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and other minimally invasive interventions have become increasingly popular. But the interventionalists who perform them often end up working in the dark, as the CT or MR image they've placed across the room bears little resemblance to the laparoscopic ultrasound images used to guide the RFA needle. Researchers may have found a solution, according to a presentation at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting.
