PET can help heart patients avoid cardiac cath
TORONTO - PET scanning with a rubidium-82 radiopharmaceutical can be a cheaper and less invasive alternative to cardiac catheterization in patients who have a nondiagnostic SPECT study, according to research presented Monday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) meeting.

PET and PET/CT best bone scan in detecting breast metastases
TORONTO - A pair of studies at yesterday's Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) meeting found that PET and PET/CT offer superior performance compared to bone scintigraphy scans in detecting bony metastases from primary breast cancer. But bone scintigraphy still offers better performance in a couple areas and may continue to play a diagnostic role due to its low cost.

How to find and train a 3D technologist
SAN FRANCISCO - The routine use of 3D imaging has created a new class of radiologic technologists who specialize in processing and reconstructing 3D imaging studies before the radiologist interprets them. Such individuals can have a beneficial impact on 3D workflow by assuming 3D processing duties once handled by radiologists, according to speakers at the International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT on Thursday.

New protocols offer hope for wireless security
ORLANDO, FL - While wireless computing may be a godsend for mobile PC users, it's a major headache for those tasked with maintaining security in sensitive computing environments like a PACS network. Fortunately, new security protocols will soon be arriving that should give system administrators some tools for combating unwanted network intrusions, according to a presentation at the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) meeting.

VC CAD shows progress toward clinical use
ORLANDO, FL - Computer-aided detection programs originally made their mark in mammography, and are expanding into new applications like chest imaging. Virtual colonoscopy CAD is another promising application that could help radiologists detect more cancers and adenomatous polyps, according to a presentation at this week's Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) meeting.

PET/CT scans ‘crucial’ in patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma
By Will Morton
PET/CT has significant advantages over conventional methods for lesion detection and staging in patients with natural killer/T-cell lymphoma.
December 22, 2023
A 50-year-old man with recently diagnosed nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma underwent an F-18 FDG-PET/CT scan (A–D) for initial staging. Maximum-intensity-projection image (A) shows hypermetabolic lesions in both ethmoid sinus (thin arrow), both cervical lymphatic chains (arrowhead), left upper lung (thick arrow), liver, and spleen. Transaxial images show an F-18 FDG-avid mass in both ethmoid sinus (B). The scan shows intense F-18 FDG radiotracer uptake in left upper lung and uptake in the liver and spleen (CT showed no lesions), suggesting malignancy (C–D). Finally, after the PET/CT scan was done, the patient’s staging was changed from II to IV.

Patient underwent a lumpectomy with tumor-negative surgical margins and radiation therapy. (B) Mammographic magnification view obtained four years after diagnosis shows new calcifications at the surgical site (circle). Stereotactic biopsy was performed, which revealed recurrent grade 2 DCIS. The patient then underwent a mastectomy. Image courtesy of the ARRS.
