Building BMD naturally -- soy far, soy good?
Consuming soy products has been linked with decreased rates of osteoporosis and related fractures, as well as other conditions such as cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. While it may not do any harm, does soy actually have benefits for slowing down osteoporosis and bone deterioration? Recent studies have taken a closer look at the link between soy intake and bone health.

History of drug abuse, opioid access may prove too powerful for docs in rehab
A pre-existing mental health issue, a family history of substance abuse, and opioid dependence is the triple threat that can send a physician recovering from substance abuse back into dangerous old habits, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

fMRI identifies link between alleles, amygdala in affective disorders
Gene-based science is all the rage these days, and neuroimaging is certainly doing its part to advance the cause. The latest imaging genomics study has found that certain genotypes will affect amygdala function, specifically in cases of mood and anxiety disorders.

PET/CT planning allows for greater gamble on NSCLC radiotherapy
When it comes to upping the ante on radiation dose for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), toxicity to the lungs and esophagus prevents a big payoff. But PET/CT has come up a winner for NSCLC radiotherapy planning, allowing European clinicians to escalate dosage without dealing a losing hand to normal tissue.

Do hospital bosses live in terror of error reporting?
Forcing healthcare institutions to disclose errors to state agencies only inspires a mum staff and more lawsuits, while doing little to ensure patient safety, according to a survey of hospital executives from six U.S. states. In addition, there's varied interpretation of what constitutes a reportable mistake.

CAD offers promising second opinion, even in dense breasts
Advanced imaging techniques, such as computer-aided detection (CAD), can improve breast cancer detection, according to two new studies. The first examined how CAD performed in evaluating dense breast tissue, while the other put computer analysis to the test against clinical breast MR readings for characterizing lesions.

Web-based workflow and reporting systems keep imaging on track
The Internet holds the key for more efficient workflow and reporting, according to two recent studies. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University found that an Internet-based workflow management system streamlined communication between clinicians, radiologists, and technologists. And another group has proposed using the Web to open a new communication channel directly from radiologists to patients.

Breast MRI OK immediately following biopsy
There's no reason to delay breast MR after biopsy as the latter procedure does not hamper the modality's sensitivity to cancer size, according to a study in the Journal of Women's Imaging.

Lemon candy may suck for curbing dry mouth after thyroid cancer therapy
Mother always warned you that eating candy before dinner would spoil your appetite. She may not have known that eating candy during radioiodine therapy for thyroid cancer can be just as bad. In a preliminary study, Japanese researchers have found that sucking on lemon candy too close to radiotherapy may actually worsen damage to the salivary glands.

PET/CT reveals new infections in ICU patients
By Will Morton
F-18 FDG-PET/CT is a valuable approach for diagnosing unknown infections in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
February 21, 2025
There are several conceivable advantages of F-18 FDG PET/CT over conventional imaging. Image A and B showing an example of the distinctive capability of the F-18 FDG PET/CT. A shows a fusion image of F-18 FDG PET/CT and low-dose CT and B an high resolution chest CT of a patient with an Aspergillus infection. The suspected aspergilloma is concealed on the high resolution CT due to the lung fluids and consolidation. Image C and D (fusion image of F-18 FDG PET/CT and low-dose CT and low-dose CT only, respectively) are examples of the ability to image inflammation while no concurrent abnormalities are visualized, in this case prostatitis (red arrows). Image E, a maximized intensity projection of F-18 FDG PET, shows a patient with lung infections and multiple muscle abscesses after MRSA sepsis. This is an illustrative example of a relevant dissemination investigation.
