SLN procedure in pregnant breast cancer patients leads to negligible fetal dose
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy and lymphoscintigraphy are becoming the standard of care for pregnant breast cancer patients. Fortunately, this radiocolloid-based technique doesn't pose significant risk to a fetus, according to research in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Regular mammo screening reduces risk of false-positive results, needless biopsy
Women who adhere to their annual screening mammography schedule are less like to have false-positive results and, subsequently, undergo unnecessary biopsies, according to Boston researchers, who reviewed more than 300,000 records for their study in the August issue of Radiology.

Automated breast density analysis matches radiologists' expert estimates
Researchers from Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania compared a fully automated mammographic density estimation program (MDEST) with BI-RADS and radiologists' estimation of breast density. They found that MDEST-derived densities compared favorably with radiologists' estimates and were more reproducible.

MRI of gluteal contracture backs up physical exam results
Contracture of the gluteus maximus muscle can be caused by a congenital disorder or intramuscular injection myopathy. Although imaging is not routinely used in gluteal contracture, MRI can help establish diagnosis and evaluate lesion severity, according to researchers from Taiwan.

Autosegmented MRI plumbs the depths of adolescent obesity
Obesity is the fastest-growing disease in the pediatric and adolescent age groups. Imaging tests can guide the treatment of obese patients, whether they're used for risk prediction or postsurgical follow-up. Researchers from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Ohio successfully used MRI to measure visceral adipose tissue and noninvasively quantify the amount of intra-abdominal fat in pediatric patients.

Practices that embrace EHR security regulations inspire patient confidence
Recent headlines about stolen veterans' medical records privacy haven't done much to quell the fears of the general population that their medical privacy is under constant threat. As a result, practice managers should be prepared to deal with patients who are fairly certain that their healthcare information is mishandled, according to a presentation at the recent 2006 Health Care Information Technology Forum.
