Team calls for 'village' approach for tackling breast cancer inequities
By Amerigo Allegretto
Researchers are calling for a "village" approach for tackling breast cancer disparities.
November 1, 2023
Delaware leads the U.S. in the incidence of triple-negative breast cancer and advanced breast cancer diagnosed at a younger age, ChristianaCare researchers highlighted. Areas of higher intensity, which are visualized in this map with brighter shades of red, have higher historical rates of triple-negative breast cancer diagnosed at an advanced stage among women younger than 50 years relative to other areas within New Castle County, Delaware.
Ultrasound features tied to thyroid microcarcinoma tumor growth
By Amerigo Allegretto
Ultrasonic features are tied to increased risk of tumor progression in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma undergoing surveillance.

Progression of hypervascular tumor with lymph node metastasis in a 64-year-old male participant with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. (A-C) Baseline ultrasound images. (A) Transverse gray-scale image shows a solid hypoechoic thyroid nodule (arrow) with a maximal diameter of 7 mm. (B) Color Doppler image shows hypervascularity, represented by increased vascularity above that of normal thyroid parenchyma (arrows). (C) Transverse gray-scale image shows a small, probably benign lymph node at left level IV (arrow). (D) Transverse ultrasound image at 12-month follow-up demonstrates a suspicious lymph node (arrow) with increased shortest diameter and punctate echogenic foci (arrowhead). Subsequent fine-needle aspiration for this level IV lymph node revealed a metastatic thyroid papillary carcinoma. Image courtesy of Radiology.
AI boosts radiologist perception training
By Will Morton

Screenshots of the imaging viewer interface before (a-b) and after (c-d) having clicked “Review placed markers.” The “Case assessment widget” has been magnified in (b,d). One marker was incorrectly placed (c), which is signified with a red cross. One nodule was not identified (c) and was highlighted by a yellow circle through the mouse over function in the “List of synthetic lesions.” Image courtesy of the British Journal of Radiology.

FAPI-PET bests FDG-PET in detecting gastrointestinal cancer
By Will Morton
Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-PET/CT appears superior to standard FDG-PET/CT for detecting gastrointestinal cancer.
October 31, 2023
Nine representative patients who underwent F-18 FDG and F-18 FAPI-74 PET imaging. F-18 FAPI-74 PET outperforms F-18 FDG-PET in detecting primary tumors (patients 11, 39, 50, 58, 79, and 101; solid black arrows), local recurrences (patient 4; blue arrows), abdomen LN metastases (patients 4 and 50; green arrows), intrahepatic metastases (patient 50; red arrows), bone metastases (patient 85; arrowheads), and peritoneal metastases (patients 4, 11, 85, 97, and 101; dotted arrows).

PET brain study: More research needed in former NFL players
By Will Morton
PET imaging shows high levels of brain protein activity associated with injury in a large group of young, former National Football League (NFL) players.

Mean parametric maps of carbon-11 (C-11) DPA-713 radiotracer binding (VT) are presented in three views for each group (NFL, control) within each TSPO genotype (C/C, C/T). VT indicates total distribution volume and is in units of milliliters per cubic centimeter (mL/cm3). Image courtesy of JAMA Network Open.
