Ultrasound AC measures help detect liver steatosis

Attenuation coefficient (AC) measurements from ultrasound can help better detect hepatic steatosis and address interoperator agreement.

April 16, 2025

Ultrasound images depict a 56-year-old man with obesity (body mass index, 42) and steatosis (MRI-PDFF, 10.4%), who underwent ultrasound attenuation coefficient (AC) measurement due to participation in the present study. The unit displays color-coded confidence map (left) and AC map (on right) in side-by-side manner. The confidence map indicates quality of acquired AC signals and is set like traffic lights: green indicates good quality acquisition, yellow indicates warning, and red indicates low quality. Areas with low quality are left blank on the AC map. The image shows multiple circular ROIs placed at depths below the liver capsule of 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 cm. All ROIs are 3.5 cm in size. The confidence map threshold is set at 20%. AC measurements (in units of dB/cm/MHz) were extracted from all ROIs (excluding voxels without assigned color on the AC map) and decrease with greater ROI depth.

Ultrafast breast MRI determines malignant from benign markers

Ultrafast breast MRI can differentiate between markers associated with malignancy.

April 9, 2025

(A) Ultrafast MR image obtained 14 seconds after aortic enhancement shows 0.4-cm focus (arrow) in the left breast at 3-o’clock position, 4.5 cm from index cancer (not shown). (B) Ultrafast MR image obtained 23 seconds after aortic enhancement shows wash-in (arrow) of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE). (C) and (D) On first standard postcontrast subtraction MR images, focus (arrow, C) and BPE (arrow, D) are indistinguishable. MRI-guided biopsy of focus yielded grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma.

AI bests rads in finding breast cancer in women with personal history

AI may have a role in finding contralateral disease in women with a personal history of breast cancer.

April 8, 2025

Images depict a 65-year-old patient with contralateral second breast cancer 6.3 years after right mastectomy. (A) Left craniocaudal and (B) mediolateral oblique mammograms assessed as benign. (C) The AI algorithm outlined a lesion with a score of 31 on the craniocaudal view. (D) A supplemental axial ultrasound scan, which was obtained on the same day as the mammogram, shows an irregular hypoechoic mass (arrows) in the left upper central breast. (E) Preoperative sagittal contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI scan shows the corresponding enhancing mass (arrow) in the left upper center. The mass was proven to be ductal carcinoma in situ.
