Cryoablation safe, effective in treating soft-tissue sarcoma
By Amerigo Allegretto
Percutaneous cryoablation is safe and effective for patients with recurrent or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma after earlier treatments.
August 1, 2024
(A) Axial noncontrast CT chest image shows soft tissue mass in the anterior chest wall (arrow). The lesion was treated by percutaneous cryoablation. (B) Intraprocedural axial CT image obtained during cryoablation. The pink outline represents the target lesion and the blue outline represents ice ball. Based on review, the procedure was classified as achieving adequate ablation. (C) Axial contrast-enhanced CT chest image, obtained three months after ablation (patient’s first follow-up exam), shows involution of the target lesion without evidence of residue.

FES-PET effective for staging breast cancer in phase II trial
By Will Morton
F-18 fluroestradiol (FES)-PET/CT appears as effective as standard imaging for staging women with estrogen receptor-positive locally advanced breast cancer or evaluating suspected recurrence.
July 26, 2024
The patient was a woman in her 50s with suspected recurrence of invasive lobular breast cancer. A, maximum intensity projection image from FDG-PET/CT demonstrating avid foci in the chest (red arrow). Transaxial CT (B) and transaxial fused FDG-PET/CT image (C) showing that the chest avidity corresponds to FDG-avid lung nodules (red arrows) suspicious for malignancy. The lung nodule was subsequently biopsied but found to represent benign granulomatous inflammation and thus a false positive on FDG-PET/CT. D, maximum intensity projection image from FES-PET/CT demonstrating multifocal uptake suspicious for malignancy. E, transaxial CT and fused FES-PET/CT demonstrating no FES-avidity in the biopsy proven benign granulomatous lung nodules (red arrows), thus true negative on FES-PET/CT. FES-avidity in nodes (white arrow) is suspicious for malignancy. F, transaxial CT and fused FES-PET/CT demonstrates gastric avidity (blue arrow) suspicious for malignancy. G, transaxial CT and fused FES PET/CT demonstrates FES-avid osseous foci (yellow arrow) suspicious for malignancy. This osseous focus was subsequently biopsied and proved to be an osseous metastasis and thus true positive on FES-PET/CT.

PET/MRI rules out tau protein in late-life depression
By Will Morton
A PET/MRI study has provided insights into the neurobiology of late-life depression, finding tau protein is not involved in the condition.
July 25, 2024
Coronal and axial slice of the average cortical F-18 MK-6240 SUVR [standard uptake value ratio] image for each study population. SUVR images were corrected for partial volume effects and masked with the gray matter mask used for volume of interest delineation. Overall tau accumulation is comparable between the late-life depression (LLD, middle column) and non-depressed cognitively unimpaired comparison (HC, left column) groups, while abnormal tau accumulation, which is most pronounced in the mesial temporal lobe, can be seen in the mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease group (right column).
