ACR suspends member for malpractice testimony
The American College of Radiology has suspended one of its members for giving testimony that the association contends was "clinically inaccurate and scientifically incorrect" in a medical malpractice case. The action is the second suspension made by the Reston, VA, society since it began reviewing the issue of expert testimony by ACR members in 2003.

Alabama lawyer takes on Deficit Reduction Act
The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005 signed into law by President Bush on February 8 includes at least $2.8 billion in cuts to imaging services performed outside the hospital setting. But the DRA has a potentially fatal flaw, making it unconstitutional, according to Alabama attorney Jim Zeigler. He has filed a lawsuit seeking to have it overturned, and discusses his strategy with AuntMinnie.com.

MRgFUS shows promise in treating prostate cancer
By Amerigo Allegretto
MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) therapy can successfully treat prostate cancer for those at intermediate risk.
March 7, 2024
Images depict biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer in a 56-year-old man. (A) Pretreatment axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo MRI scan and (B) apparent diffusion coefficient map acquired with a 3T scanner show the tumor in the left transition zone (arrows). (C) Intraoperative 1.5-T MRI scan shows the contoured rectal wall (red line), prostate margin (blue outline), and region of interest (orange outline). (D) Intraoperative MRI scan shows a focused ultrasound beam path (blue) overlaid on the treatment plan. The rectangular boxes show each sonication spot. (E) Thermal map obtained during treatment shows heat deposition color-coded in red and overlaid on the sonication spot. (F) Axial gadobutrol-enhanced MRI scan obtained immediately after treatment shows the devascularized ablated volume (arrows). (G) Corresponding T2-weighted fast spin-echo 3T MRI scan obtained at 24 months after ablation shows fibrosis and volume loss in the left transition zone (arrows). Findings from a biopsy showed scar tissue, negative for malignancy at the treatment site.

PET lung scan times could be cut by half
By Will Morton
Dynamic PET scans acquired in half the time of normal scans appear clinically feasible for patients with lung lesions.
March 6, 2024
A 60-year-old male patient with clinical suspicion of lung cancer. PET/CT scan showed FDG-avid pulmonary nodules in the upper lobe of the left lung (red arrow), with a size of 2.2 × 1.3 cm, SUVmax of 12.2, Ki-65 min of 0.016 ml/g/min, and Ki-30 min of 0.014 ml/g/min. Surgical pathology confirmed a granulomatous lesion. In addition, PET/CT scan showed many FDG-avid lung nodules in the mediastinum. (A, static PET maximum intensity projection; B, static PET SUV image; C, static PET/CT fusion image; D, dynamic PET Ki-65 min image; E, dynamic PET Ki-30 min image). Image courtesy of EJNMMI Physics.
