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.

How does F-18 flurpiridaz PET perform in routine clinical practice?
By Will Morton
A study provides real-world insights into the clinical implementation of F-18 flurpiridaz PET in a diverse group.
January 26, 2026
Ischemia in the circumflex territory. F-18 flurpiridaz PET showed a perfusion defect in the lateral wall during pharmacological stress, which improved in rest. Myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification showed decreased MBFstress (1.4 mL/min/g) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) (2.2) in the circumflex (Cx) territory, with adequate flow in the left anterior descending and right coronary artery territories, MBFstress 2.6 and 2.2 mL/min/g, and MFR 3.4 and 3.1, respectively. Coronary angiography showed a 70%-99% stenosis in the Cx artery, for which percutaneous coronary intervention was performed with good result and good clinical outcome.
