Technology, technique help ease radiologist shortage
The market for radiology hires in the U.S. has decreased steeply since 2002, while radiologists have seen an increase in workload. But radiologists are tackling the increased workload by increasing productivity with the help of technology and by working smarter, according to research presented at the Educational Symposia Economics of Diagnostic Imaging conference in Arlington, VA.

States, payors seek to stem tide of self-referral abuse
ARLINGTON, VA - Self-referral in imaging by nonradiologists leads to tremendous overutilization, according to Dr. David Levin of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Levin shared results from his research into imaging self-referral, as well as suggestions for curbing self-referred imaging abuse, at the Educational Symposia Economics of Diagnostic Imaging conference on Thursday.

SPECT shows promise in diagnosing Parkinson's
Clinical evaluation is the standard by which Parkinson's disease (PD) and parkinsonian syndrome (PS) are currently diagnosed. But a new study suggests that functional SPECT neuroimaging with the radiotracer (123I) ß-carboxymethoxy-3-ß-(4-iodophenyl) tropane (CIT) might do a better job, detecting those patients who are thought to have PS, but turn out negative at follow-up.

EVT promising in patients with extracranial ICA occlusions
By Will Morton
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and best medical treatment are both effective and safe options for patients with acute extracranial internal carotid artery occlusions.

Images in a 74-year-old male patient who presented at the hospital with acute symptoms of a right hemispheric ischemic stroke and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 24. (A) Nonenhanced CT image shows no signs of early infarction, whereas (B) CT perfusion image shows a large perfusion deficit in the territory of the middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery caused by an extracranial occlusion in the right internal carotid artery. (C) Digital subtraction angiography shows the occlusion in the C1 segment. The extracranial occlusion was passed, reperfused, and subsequently stented (D, E). The final contrast injection did not reveal any intracranial occlusions within the territory of the internal carotid artery (F). At the 24-hour follow-up, there was no infarction on (G) the nonenhanced CT image, and the NIHSS score had decreased to 3 points. Image courtesy of RSNA.
CEUS resolves indeterminate CT, MRI liver observations
By Amerigo Allegretto
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can resolve some high-risk indeterminate liver observations initially seen on CT or MRI.
January 21, 2025
Images depict a 49-year-old female participant with cryptogenic cirrhosis who presented with a 3.2-cm liver lesion. This biopsy-confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with an initial categorization of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) category LR-4 (probably HCC) at CT was upgraded to LR-5 (definitely HCC) at contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). (A) Precontrast CT images in the liver show vague hypoattenuation in the medial left hepatic lobe (arrows). (B) Arterial phase images demonstrate no definite arterial phase hyperenhancement (arrows). (C) Washout and an enhancing capsule (arrows) on a late-phase image resulted in an LR-4 categorization. (D) B-mode ultrasound shows a round hypoechoic nodule (arrows). (E) An early-phase CEUS image shows clear arterial-phase hyperenhancement (arrows); (F) No washout at one minute (arrows), and (G) late, mild washout at four minutes (arrows) resulted in a CEUS LR-5 categorization.
