Presence of invasive cancer may cause MR-guided biopsy to miss DCIS
By Shalmali Pal
MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy has been deemed safe, fast, and accurate for evaluating MRI-detected lesions, but the procedure may fail to completely characterize the target lesion, even when a 9-gauge device is used, according to a group from Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), who assessed the underestimation rate of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with MR biopsy.

MDCT's 'virtual Whipple' offers practice run before complex surgery
By Eric Barnes
Among the nearly 30,000 cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year in the U.S., an estimated 5% to 30% have tumors that are contained entirely within the head of the pancreas. This relatively fortunate subgroup has a better chance of surviving long term via the Whipple procedure. Radiologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston are hoping to boost the odds of surgical success with the virtual Whipple, a CT-based planning tool they've developed to give surgeons an idea of what they're going to find step-by-step during the Whipple procedure.

3D technologists: You’ve trained them -- now retain them
By Kathy Kincade
It is no secret that radiologic technologists (RT) -- especially those trained in 3D imaging -- are at a premium. With little-to-no formal 3D education available, finding and keeping qualified techs is not only a competitive endeavor but a costly one as well, given that the facilities that hire these RTs are also expected to provide and pay for their training.

Coronary CTA much improved with newer scanners
By Eric Barnes
A meta-analysis of cardiac CT angiography study results has concluded that more CT detector rows do in fact produce more-diagnostic exams with fewer nonassessable segments. Researchers from Belgium and the Netherlands zeroed in on 54 carefully reported papers documenting four-, 16-, and 64-slice studies, to conclude that CTA has improved markedly since four-slice CTA was introduced a decade ago.
