Digital mammo with CAD requires sharp eye for false negatives
In the past few years, traditional film-screen and digital mammography has benefited by the application of computer-aided detection (CAD) software. Although studies have shown that CAD use can increase the detection of early-stage malignancies, radiologist experience is needed to reduce the number of false negatives to a minimum, according to researchers from Italy.

Multiple modalities show similar results for initial staging of head and neck cancer
TORONTO - Head and neck cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and accounts for 2.8% of all malignancies in the U.S., according to presentations this week at the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) conference. Multimodality management of head and neck cancer patients is now the modus operandi in most medical centers.

PET shows therapy can alter opioid receptors in bulimics
TORONTO - The use of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), the application of cognitive psychotherapy to change thinking patterns combined with behavior therapy to modify the connections between situation and reaction, in patients with bulimia nervosa results in increased mu-opioid receptor (mu-OR) binding, according to a presentation Sunday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) meeting.

PET benefits IWC for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
The International Workshop Criteria is the most widely used staging mechanism for response assessment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The criteria are primarily based on CT imaging for assigning a patient's final response designation. However, a recent multinational study provides compelling evidence that integration of PET into the IWC demonstrates a more accurate response assessment for NHL.

Claims denial management improves practice, bottom line
LAS VEGAS - Radiology practices in the U.S. face a number of challenges to their fiscal health, such as declining reimbursement, rising costs, and complex billing and coding guidelines. But radiology groups can help improve their bottom line by proactively and aggressively instituting a policy of claims denial management, according to a presentation at the Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) meeting.

Active thyroid surveillance effective, beneficial for older patients
A 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with ER-positive (Allred score 8) ILC in her right breast. Ultrasound and MRI found prominent lymph nodes in right axillary level I area, diagnosed as metastasis on ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. F-18 FES-PET/CT showed a positive mass in right breast (white arrow; SUVmax, 5.6) and multiple F-18 FES–positive lymph nodes in right axillary level I, II, and II/III junction areas (red arrows; SUVmax, up to 12.2). In addition, a small F-18 FES-positive lymph node was observed in the right second internal mammary area (red circles; SUVmax, 1.8). However, biopsy could not be performed because it was too small and not visible on ultrasound; the clinician decided to include internal mammary lymph node in treatment field for adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient underwent lumpectomy with ALN dissection, with five metastases being identified in 13 lymph nodes dissected, and is scheduled to receive adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy.

F-18 PSMA-1007 PET/CT of a 70 year old with newly diagnosed prostate cancer: PSA 770 ng/ml; Gleason 5 + 5; International Society of Urological Pathology grade 5. The maximum intensity projection images, CT, and fused images show PSMA ligand-avid prostate primary with pelvic, retroperitoneal, and mediastinal nodal spread. Additionally, he had left supraclavicular nodal metastasis (arrows).
