GE Medical Systems

LightSpeed Pro16 -- a 16-slice scanner with routine 0.4-second gantry rotation -- will take center stage in the CT section of GE’s booth. The scanner employs the Waukesha, WI, company’s HiLight Matrix II detector, which supports imaging at 16 x 0.625-mm and 16 x 1.25-mm slice thicknesses in all scan modes and at all scan speeds, according to the company. The device was introduced in June 2003.

Rare finding detected on PSMA-PET: A nonprostatic lung tumor

A group in Australia has described a rare finding during a prostate cancer restaging PET/CT scan – a pulmonary tumor embolism.

September 25, 2023

Hybrid contrast-enhanced CT (with iodinated contrast bolus timed to maximize pulmonary arterial visualization) and F-18 DCFPyL PSMA-PET images. Contrast CT images (A, B) show an eccentric filling defect in the superior lingula segmental artery of the left lung upper lobe (red arrow). This is concordant with moderately intense PSMA radiotracer expression (black arrows on axial PET-only images, C, and on whole-body maximum intensity projection image, E). Fused PET and contrast-enhanced CT axial image (D) also confirm the lesion (red arrow). No other site of PSMA expressing metastasis is evident on whole-body imaging (E).

Does the PI-RADS update change prostate cancer treatment staging?

By Kate Madden Yee

PI-RADS upgrade and downgrade rates from targeted MRI biopsy to radical prostatectomy haven't changed between PI-RADS version 2.0 and 2.1.

September 22, 2023

62-year-old patient with serum PSA level of 4.11 ng/mL. Prostate MRI shows lesion in left midanterior transition zone. Lesion (arrow) shows hypointensity on T2-weighted image (A), hyperintensity on high b-value DWI (B), hypointensity on ADC map (C), and focal early enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced image (D). Lesion was assessed as category 4 using PI-RADS version 2.1 MRI-targeted biopsy of lesion revealed prostate adenocarcinoma with ISUP grade group 2. At subsequent radical prostatectomy performed 6 months after biopsy, ISUP grade group was upgraded to 3. ISUP, International Society of Urogenital Pathology. Image courtesy of AJR.
