Volume Interactions aims to reinvent 3D with Dextroscope

The use of 3D imaging for medical applications has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. But even the most advanced 3D-rendered image is still constrained by the limitations of the medium on which it's presented: a 2D computer monitor. A company called Volume Interactions is hoping to change the 3D visualization paradigm with Dextroscope, a new system designed to make 3D images more intuitive and interactive.

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.

Radiology can play a key role in planetary health

U.S. health care, including radiology, is both a large polluter and extremely resource intensive, yet planetary health and sustainability is an emerging field and likely an unfamiliar topic for most radiologists.

AI spots unidentified brain tumor on PET imaging

An AI algorithm designed for brain PET imaging found a glioblastoma in a patient that had gone undetected by physicians.

February 20, 2024

Baseline scan (A), segmentation results (B), and follow-up scan (C) from patient with molecular glioblastoma. Baseline MRI showed FLAIR hyperintensities in left thalamus and frontoparietal region (white arrowheads). In contrast to expert segmentation, in which only left thalamic region showed slightly increased uptake (red contour), AI algorithm identified additional frontoparietal lesion on baseline PET that subsequently progressed to contrast-enhancing and metabolically active lesion (red arrowheads).
