Study finds differences in how breast density is measured
A study of nearly 2,000 breast cancer patients who underwent screening mammography found significant differences between three different methods of measuring breast density -- though breast cancer risk predictions were similar among the techniques, concludes a report in Radiology.

Study finds CT use has doubled for minor injuries
The use of CT for minor injuries has doubled in the past decade, according to a study of more than 8.5 million California patients in the Journal of Surgical Research. The increase may indicate that it's time to redouble efforts to ensure that radiation is used appropriately.

Emphysema-related COPD on CT signals higher malignancy risk
Individuals who have certain types of emphysema may also be at higher risk of cancer if they have suspicious nodules found on CT lung cancer screening scans, according to new research. The findings could help researchers better determine which suspicious nodules warrant further workup.

Study finds U.S. nuclear cardiology doses are too high
Radiation doses for myocardial perfusion imaging exams in the U.S. are significantly higher than those in the rest of the world. Few U.S. sites adhere to best practices for dose reduction, and the U.S. fee-for-service model also contributes to the disparity, according to articles published online December 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

CTC excels in matchup with FIT, colonoscopy
In the first randomized trial to pit CT colonography (CTC) against the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and conventional optical colonoscopy, FIT yielded a higher participation rate than CTC but found fewer cancers and advanced lesions, according to results published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Motion correction improves CT lung tumor assessment
Perfusion CT is emerging as a useful way to assess the treatment of lung cancer patients, but respiratory motion can cause problems with images. Fortunately, researchers from California and Pennsylvania have discovered a motion correction algorithm that can help.

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.
