ISMRM: Adding dobutamine stress imaging to CMR feasible

Adding dobutamine stress imaging during clinical cardiovascular MR exams is feasible for separating athletic hearts from hearts with early DCM.

May 14, 2025

Research presented at ISMRM 2025 found that adding dobutamine stress imaging to CMR can separate athletic hearts from hearts with early DCM. The stress CMR findings correlated well with CPET results, highlighting the feasability of adding dobutamine stress imaging to CMR exams.

Ultrafast breast MRI's advantages may need to be reconsidered

Ultrafast MRI fell short of expectations when compared to DCE-MRI in terms of lesion conspicuity and classification.

May 6, 2025

Images depict axial MRI scans in a 50-year-old premenopausal female patient with biopsy-proven 12-mm invasive lobular cancer in the lower outer quadrant of the left breast. Upper images are subtracted dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI scans from the first and second postcontrast acquisitions. Lower images are ultrafast MRI scans obtained within 24 hours after the DCE study (four consecutive subtracted dynamic frames from time points [T] 6–9). There is marked background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on the DCE MRI scans. Thus, the known cancer (arrow) is barely visible; it exhibits only slightly stronger enhancement than the normal fibroglandular tissue, which results in low conspicuity. At ultrafast MRI there is less BPE, and still the cancer is barely visible because it starts to enhance simultaneously with the BPE. The conspicuity of the cancer is even reduced compared with the DCE series. Both of the readers missed this cancer on both the DCE and ultrafast MRI scans.

An example of a typical BgRT plan: A) PET scan on diagnostic PET/CT and B) X1 PET-Linac for patient #15 with a PET avid rib metastasis with GTV size= 3.1 cc, PTV = GTV + 5mm, BTZ (biological tracking zone) = PTV + 5 mm, AC = 14.33 kBq/mL and NTS = 21.04. Red, magenta, and green contours represent GTV, PTV, and BTZ. C) Dose distribution and D) bounded-DVH of a BgRT plan are displayed for the same patient. The bounded Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) models variations in BgRT delivery, encompassing fluctuation in target background signal variation, target localization and dose delivery uncertainties.

AI model detects achalasia on chest x-rays

Currently, few noninvasive tests are available for diagnosing the swallowing condition.

September 18, 2025

Saliency maps using Grad-CAM++ (E and H) show the model’s point of interest in chest radiographs (C and F) of patients with achalasia. The model’s point of interest is highlighted with red, yellow, and green. In both the upper and lower panels (E and H), the point of interest is located in a region around the upper esophagus that corresponds to an air esophagogram and/or air-fluid level in the esophagus in the barium esophagogram (D and G).

Echogenic rind on breast ultrasound holds diagnostic significance

By Amerigo Allegretto

An echogenic rind on breast ultrasound could spell malignancy for suspicious lesions.

September 17, 2025

Diagnostic transverse ultrasound image of the left breast in a 64-year-old woman shows irregular hypoechoic nonparallel mass with indistinct margins corresponding to palpable finding, assessed as BI-RADS category 4. Both readers assessed mass as having associated echogenic rind with complete circumferential extent (arrowheads). Ultrasound-guided biopsy of mass yielded diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (intermediate grade, luminal A molecular subtype, no lymphovascular invasion).
