New PET tracer shows promise in patients with kidney cancer

A new PET radiotracer could offer a viable strategy for detecting primary tumors, involved lymph nodes, and distant metastases in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Representative maximum-intensity projections of five patients (patients 3, 5, 7, 10, and 11) comparing Ga-68 NYM046 and F-18 FDG. Both tracers showed specific retention in bone and lymph node metastases (patients 10 and 11). Ga-68 NYM046 PET/CT outperformed F-18 FDG PET/CT in detecting primary tumors, lung metastases, and pleural metastases (patients 3, 5, 7, and 11).

Lateral conventional attenuation (a, b, e, f) and co-registered dark-field (c, d, g, h) images of two spine specimens. Vertical (a, c, e, g) and horizontal (b, d, f, h) scans of the spine specimen of a 77-year-old female with osteoporosis (bone mineral density = 65.75 mg/dL) (a–d) and a non-osteoporotic spine specimen (e–h) of a 61-year-old female (bone mineral density = 169.38 mg/dL).

3D MRI technique helps plan treatment for pediatric heart conditions

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.

Could AI scoring help with managing DCIS?

Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.

Clinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion type
