German group presents results with prototype breast CT scanner

VIENNA - A German research group presented preliminary work on a dedicated breast CT scanner at this week's European Congress of Radiology (ECR). While the group has only studied phantoms with the prototype system, their results so far indicate that the scanner can achieve twice the resolution of conventional mammography at an equivalent radiation dose.

Real-time US elastography performs well for suspicious lesions

VIENNA - Real-time continuous ultrasound elastography produced good results in identifying malignant breast lesions and helping divert some patients with suspicious masses from biopsy, according to a series of presentations today at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

European radiology mobilizes to stave off MRI safety rules

VIENNA - A number of European academic societies, including the European Society of Radiology (ESR), have formed a coalition to try to prevent the adoption of safety rules set to go into effect in 2008 that could severely limit the types of MRI studies that can be conducted in the European Union. Called the Alliance for MRI, the coalition was launched here today at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

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.

Could AI scoring help with managing 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.

Clinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion type

Could elastography replace conventional ultrasound-guided FNAC?

By Amerigo Allegretto

Strain elastography does not have additional benefits over conventional elastography-guided FNAC for diagnosing malignancy in thyroid nodules.

October 15, 2024

Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a solitary left-sided thyroid nodule classified at gray-scale ultrasound as category U3, upgraded to category U4 at strain elastography, and classified as category Thy4 at cytopathologic examination. Subsequent surgical histopathologic examination confirmed papillary cell carcinoma. (A) Longitudinal view of the left thyroid lobe demonstrates the low reflective nodule (between arrows) measuring 13 × 12 × 11 mm (not shown) and with a halo. (B) A longitudinal image with side-by-side visualization of the nodule (arrow) at gray scale (left) and strain elastography (right). The nodule is predominantly blue, indicating increased stiffness. (C) A longitudinal view shows the needle (arrows) within the stiffer aspect of the nodule for cytology sampling. U and Thy categories are according to British Thyroid Association system.
