FAPI-PET/CT outperforms FDG-PET/CT in women with invasive breast cancer

PET/CT imaging using gallium-68 FAPI radiotracer over F-18 FDG appears promising in women with invasive lobular carcinoma.

Maximum-intensity projection F-18 FDG-PET (left) and Ga-68 FAPI-PET (right) images of synchronous ILC. (A) A 42-year-old patient with multicentric primary lesions (encircled), regional (solid arrows), and distant inferior jugular lymph node (dashed arrows) seen on F-18 FDG-PET and subsequently confirmed on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also revealed additional malignant foci aligned with MRI. Some lesions exhibited high activity retention on Ga-68 FAPI-PET. (B) A 53-year-old patient showing no significant uptake on F-18 FDG-PET but synchronous bilateral lesions (arrows) on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also identified pathologic lymph nodes (encircled), resulting in upstaging.

Imaging surveillance suggested for radial scars found on DBT

By Amerigo Allegretto

Imaging surveillance may be the way to go for tracking radial scars without atypia found on screening DBT.

Images taken from a 40-year-old woman with calcifications detected on baseline screening mammography show (A) lateral and (B) craniocaudal magnification views for grouped pleomorphic calcifications in right breast (circles). Stereotac-tic-guided core-needle biopsy yielded radial scar without atypia. Subsequent surgical resection yielded radial scar (i.e., not upstaged). Image courtesy of ARRS.
