NOPR: PET changes care of more than a third of cancer patients
ARLINGTON, VA - PET imaging results have changed treatment decisions in more than a third of cancer patients scanned, according to data from a massive new PET registry that is expected to pave the way to expanded Medicare coverage of the modality. The latest results from the National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR), unveiled last week at the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) fall meeting, show PET's powerful influence in managing a wide variety of cancers.

Flexibility of 320-slice CT boosts cardiac imaging options
The ability to scan a wider variety of patients -- and to do it quickly, with less contrast and far fewer artifacts -- is an important advantage of 320-detector-row CT, according to a cardiologist who has been working with the scanner since it was installed earlier this year.

When zoos refuse: Obese patients face shortage of large-capacity scanners
Outsized patients have a slim chance of getting scanned at most emergency departments in the U.S., according to a new survey in Obesity. And although some veterinary schools and zoos are equipped with large CT scanners, most have policies prohibiting the imaging of humans.

Coronary CTA cheaper for chest pain than standard care
A new analytic model of coronary CT angiography (CTA) found it to be moderately cheaper overall than the standard of care in patients presenting with chest pain, particularly women. The study could provide insight into which patients might benefit most from triage with coronary CTA over conventional angiography.

ACRIN trial shows VC's accuracy comparable to optical colonoscopy
The New England Journal of Medicine today published results from the first large multicenter trial on the efficacy of virtual colonoscopy. The accuracy of the imaging-based exam was comparable to that of optical colonoscopy for the detection of adenomatous colorectal polyps 1 cm and larger.

DECT aces noninvasive gout diagnosis
According to early assessments, dual-energy CT (DECT) has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis of gout with a fast, sensitive, and noninvasive exam that outperforms the invasive gold standard test while revealing new information about an old nemesis.

The contrast of winning and losing in the 'good fanatic brain.' The image shows in warm colors the activity related to a significant victory. The blue scale represents the activation related to a significant loss; this pattern is congruent with the Mentalization Network, which suggests a rationalization process of the pain evoked by the losing scenario.

November 20, 2023
A male patient with suspected recurrent pancreatic cancer. Contrast-enhanced CT shows mass around superior mesenteric artery after pancreatectomy. F-18 FDG only shows discrete uptake of lesion (SUVmax, 3.8), whereas Ga-68 FAPI clearly visualizes recurrent tumor. Patient received adjuvant chemotherapy after Ga-68 FAPI. Patient denied recommended chemotherapy. Increase of CA19-9 levels (from 240 U/mL to 767 U/mL) and follow-up imaging eight months later validated progression of mesenteric mass as well as increased F-18 FDG uptake (SUVmax, 5.3).
