FCH-PET/CT superior to MIBI-SPECT/CT for guiding parathyroid surgery
F-18 fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT could be a first-line technique over technetium-99m sestamibi SPECT/CT for imaging parathyroid tumors prior to surgery.

(A) FCH-PET maximum-intensity projection; (B) FCH-PET/CT fusion transverse slice; and (C) low-dose CT transverse slice, showing high FCH uptake in an 11-mm left inferior parathyroid adenoma (arrowheads). The patient underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, leading to normocalcemia during follow-up. No complications occurred.

C-11 carfentanil PET brain images in the sagittal plane (left column) and multiple transaxial planes (2nd through 4th columns) are shown on the left side. Red arrows indicate brain stem (1st column), amygdala (2nd column), and ventral tegmentum (3rd column). Experimental group descriptions are shown on the right (top) along with Logan distribution volume ratio (DVR) volumes of interest (VOI) means and coefficient of variances (CV) with percent change compared with the healthy control (HC) mean (%Diff). P-values (Mann-Whitney U test) are also provided. The VOI DVRs are plotted in the bottom right graph.

New PET tracer visualizes drivers of chronic pain
A recently developed PET radiotracer identified sources of pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and led to effective treatments.
June 14, 2024
F-18 FTC-146 PET/MRI scan of a 21-year-old male soccer player who participated in the trial. The man had chronic bilateral lower expremity pain with a baseline pain score of 8 out of 10. Based on the finding, the patient underwent anesthetic injections and nerve blocks at the site of radiotracer uptake and reported a pain score of two on a follow-up visit.

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.

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.

(B) Transverse ultrasound image shows a 2.3-cm hypoechoic mass (arrows) with calcifications. (C) Axial contrast-enhanced fat-saturated T1-weighted MRI scan shows an irregular, heterogeneously enhancing mass (arrow) in the left breast, adjacent to the operation site. The final pathologic examination confirmed recurrent invasive ductal carcinoma.
