Centralized 3D labs hold benefits for community practices

You don't have to be a major academic institution to benefit from having a dedicated 3D lab for image processing. High-tech clinical applications once reserved for academic centers are now making their way into community practice, meaning that smaller centers can now enjoy the benefits that 3D brings.

Thyroid 400

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.

Functional MRI shows brain activity prompted by fanaticism

By Kate Madden Yee

Functional MRI shows brain activity sparked by fanaticism, according to a presentation to be delivered at the upcoming RSNA meeting.

The contrast of winning and losing in the 'good fanatic brain.' The image shows in warm colors the activity related to a significant victory. The blue scale represents the activation related to a significant loss; this pattern is congruent with the Mentalization Network, which suggests a rationalization process of the pain evoked by the losing scenario.
