Start-up 3DR aims to outsource 3D processing

You've heard of companies that offer teleradiology outsourcing services, but what about outsourcing 3D image processing? A new company called 3DR is hoping to carve out a new business model by providing a centralized location to which imaging facilities can send their 3D studies to be processed.

PET mammography unit shows promise for DCIS

TORONTO - A dedicated PET mammography unit turned in good results in detecting ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in symptomatic high-risk patients, according to research presented this week at the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) meeting. The research indicates that the PEM scanner could help breast imagers detect cancer at an earlier stage, before it has metastasized.

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.

A male patient with suspected recurrent pancreatic cancer. Contrast-enhanced CT shows mass around superior mesenteric artery after pancreatectomy. F-18 FDG only shows discrete uptake of lesion (SUVmax, 3.8), whereas Ga-68 FAPI clearly visualizes recurrent tumor. Patient received adjuvant chemotherapy after Ga-68 FAPI. Patient denied recommended chemotherapy. Increase of CA19-9 levels (from 240 U/mL to 767 U/mL) and follow-up imaging eight months later validated progression of mesenteric mass as well as increased F-18 FDG uptake (SUVmax, 5.3).

A true positive case in a 72-year-old male with a granuloma on chest x-ray after visiting the neurology outpatient clinic for memory disturbance. A small lung nodule was detected in the left-middle to lower lung field by AI software, with an abnormality score of 26%. Co-existing fibrosis was suspected in the apex of bilateral upper lungs, with an abnormality score of 76%. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.
