Anatomic variants of the ankle made clear on MRI
Pinpointing ankle disorders caused by trauma or injury may be fairly simple, but what about asymptomatic ankles with anatomic variants? Two studies from Switzerland looked at the particular imaging anatomic hallmarks that clinicians should watch out for in the asymptomatic ankle.

Molecular markers: Putting too fine a point on DCIS?
KEY LARGO, FL - The great promise of genetic testing and molecular markers may be all the rage right now, but that doesn't mean good old-fashioned imaging and pathology will fall by the wayside. At least that's the opinion of an expert panel at the Breast Course 2007 this week that discussed the role genetic information will play for assessing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

Spiral MRI technique picks up what mammo misses in DCIS
KEY LARGO, FL - Microcalcifications are a signpost of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on mammography and in pathological studies. But microcalcifications do not always correlate with disease extent, which means DCIS may be missed. At the Breast Course 2007, Dr. Steve Harms explained why one particular MRI technique can go where mammography can't in diagnosing DCIS.

Sonography expands its role in evaluating nipple discharge
KEY LARGO, FL - Ultrasound can be used as a first-line imaging tool for diagnosing papillomas and other benign breast disorders, allowing clinicians to skip the more invasive galactography exam. But using ultrasound successfully to assess nipple discharge requires the right skill set, according to a presentation Tuesday at the Breast Course 2007.

Breast pathology lacks standardization, particularly in DCIS
KEY LARGO, FL - Part and parcel of good pathologic results is the correlation of pathology with mammography, especially in cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Unfortunately, pathology practice is not always done at the most optimal level, according to a speaker at the Breast Course 2007. Dr. Michael Lagios discussed how suboptimal pathology can affect clinical outcomes.

MR results in ankle disorders shore up surgical confidence, management
MRI can have a positive impact on the management of patients with ankle disorders, according to U.K. researchers. The group performed a prospective observational study in 91 consecutive patients, and also assessed MRI's impact on the orthopedic specialist's diagnosis as well as diagnostic certainty.

MRI traces multisystem Fabry's disease in the brain, heart, and beyond
Fabry's disease is an inherited, gender-linked disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A in the tissues and fluids. Renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular complications can predispose patients with Fabry's disease to an untimely death in comparison to the general population. In the brain and the heart, MRI can track Fabry's disease patterns, giving physicians important information for therapy control.

Practice Management
Governance means enabling practice policy, not coddling personalities
Governing a practice requires some understanding of how personalities influence the way the practice runs. That's something that radiology business administrators need to consider when creating governance guidelines for their medical groups. At the recent 2007 Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) meeting in San Francisco, consultant Will Latham of Latham Planning in Chattanooga, TN, outlined a strategy for creating and implementing governance at a medical practice.

Dynamic chest radiography effective for diagnosing COPD
By Will Morton
The technique can serve as an alternative to pulmonary function tests for diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
December 16, 2025
Tracking and quantitative analysis of diaphragmatic motion and projected lung area (PLA) at dynamic chest radiography (DCR) in a 55-year-old healthy man during deep breathing. (A) Posteroanterior radiograph with purple and green lines indicating the right and left lateral diaphragm apices, respectively. (B) Graph of diaphragmatic motion (in millimeters; y-axis) over time (i.e., frame number; x-axis). The software tracked the position of the diaphragm apex at DCR to obtain these amplitude-time plots of diaphragmatic motion (right lung, purple; left lung, green). The dark blue line corresponds to the frame representing the end of inspiration; the light blue line corresponds to the frame representing the end of expiration. (C) Posteroanterior radiograph shows the PLA (outline), which is the area surrounded by the medial edge of the ribs, the diaphragm, and the edge of the mediastinum. (D) Graph of PLA (in millimeters squared; y-axis) over time (i.e., frame number; x-axis). The software automatically tracked the boundaries of the lung fields and obtained the time-varying curves of the bilateral lung field areas. The blue line corresponds to the frame representing the end of inspiration.
