Gadolinium/NSF lawsuits centralized in Ohio federal court
A single U.S. District Court in Ohio has been assigned to handle the discovery phase of all patient injury lawsuits filed in federal courts related to gadolinium and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). The move is expected to speed up the legal process for the cases, and could lead to either earlier trials or settlement of the litigation.

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) Axial noncontrast CT chest image shows soft tissue mass in the anterior chest wall (arrow). The lesion was treated by percutaneous cryoablation. (B) Intraprocedural axial CT image obtained during cryoablation. The pink outline represents the target lesion and the blue outline represents ice ball. Based on review, the procedure was classified as achieving adequate ablation. (C) Axial contrast-enhanced CT chest image, obtained three months after ablation (patient’s first follow-up exam), shows involution of the target lesion without evidence of residue.
