Breast pad allows better images, higher patient volumes
Using a breast cushioning pad can improve breast positioning and increase the image acquisition, according to a poster presentation this week at the National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC) in Las Vegas.

Crank call: Imaging exposes major brain alterations in meth abusers
What's the connection between meth and medical imaging? That would be in the brain, which sustains a "forest fire of damage," from meth abuse, according to one imaging expert. Neurology and mental health specialists are turning to MRI and PET to learn more about what draws people to meth, what keeps them on it, and how they might get off the drug.

Cardiac MR shows imaging obese patients requires reshaping
The presence of nonheart-related conditions can complicate cardiovascular tests on obese patients. Two recent studies examined the independent effects of obesity on cardiac investigations. First, U.K. researchers evaluated the link between uncomplicated obesity and decreased aortic elastic function. In a second study, researchers matched obesity trends with changing diagnostic principles in cardiac MR (CMR).

Multimodality breast screening in high-risk women -- how much is too much?
It's pretty much accepted fact that women who are genetic carriers or have a strong family history of breast cancer need to be monitored more closely than women who aren't at risk. But one issue that still requires sorting out is whether high-risk women would benefit from multimodality screening.

MRI for carotid artery wall thickness measures up to US gold standard
B-mode ultrasound has become the gold standard for measuring intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery, but MRI has proved itself for evaluating local atherosclerotic disease in the artery. Together these modalities form a powerful duo for assessing plaque morphology and IMT, but researchers from Seattle set out to see if MRI alone could determine carotid artery wall thickness.

Studies decipher mammo trends, explore ways to alleviate patient distress
U.S. mammography centers are doing a moderate amount of double interpretation of images, and they're also charging double for their overall services, according to a study in the latest American Journal of Roentgenology. Another AJR study examined whether relaxation techniques would ease the pain and anxiety of women undergoing mammography.

Interventional rads still lead in peripheral arterial interventions -- for now
Imaging specialists still have a significant hold on percutaneous peripheral arterial interventions, but other physicians are gaining ground in this area. Cardiologists in particular may be horning in on the territory thanks to self-referral, according to a study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Cardiac MR center finds success with 'one-stop shopping' model
SAN FRANCISCO - Whether they travel a few blocks or several miles, most patients would prefer to avoid multiple visits to various physicians. At the Nashville Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Institute in Tennessee, a patient referred for a cardiac MR (CMR) test is pretty much guaranteed that he or she won't be out of life's loop for more than a day.

LUS reliable for care strategies in infants with RDS
By Amerigo Allegretto
Lung ultrasound (LUS) scoring is reliable for determining whether preterm newborns need surfactant for suspected respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
February 20, 2025
1Each lung has been split into three parts. Each area has been given a score between 0 and 3. Score values are shown in Ultrasonograms to match 4 different patterns. During a longitudinal scan with a high-resolution linear probe, pictures of patterns were taken. The scores are as follows: 0 means A pattern, 1 means B pattern, 2 means severe B pattern, and 3 means extended consolidation.

PSMA-PET tracer performs well in clinical trial

PET/CT imaging with a new gallium-68-based prostate cancer radiotracer shows promise for detecting recurrent metastatic disease.

(A) Representative maximum-intensity projection and selected PET/CT images (fused, PET and CT only) of patient with metastatic prostate cancer at 1 hour after injection. (B and C) Low uptake of Ga-68 PSMA-R2 in salivary and submandibular glands is also demonstrated. (D) Images show heterogeneous uptake of Ga-68 PSMA-R2 with varying degrees of intensity in multiple spine bone lesions (vertebral sclerotic lesion with intense PSMA-R2 expression at its periphery indicated with red arrow).

CT best for diagnosing suspected wooden foreign objects in the eye
By Kate Madden Yee
CT imaging is best for diagnosing suspected intraorbital wooden foreign bodies, although MR imaging does offer valuable supplementary information.
February 20, 2025
A 7-year-old boy, imaged 15 hours post-injury. Axial CT images with soft tissue windows (WW/WL=350/50) (a) reveal a rod-shaped foreign body (white arrow) situated along the course of the right inferior rectus muscle. The soft tissue window demonstrates that the foreign body exhibits attenuation similar to orbital emphysema. Axial CT images (WW/WL=1000/−200) at the same level (b) show that the attenuation of the foreign body (white arrow) is markedly different from that of the air in the sinuses.

(A, B) Unenhanced coronal, (C) axial, and (D, E) sagittal deep learning super-resolution threefold parallel imaging -- accelerated turbo spin-echo MRI scans were obtained at 3-tesla field strength. (A) Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed (FS) and (B) coronal proton density (PD)-weighted MRI scans show a nondisplaced superior labral tear (arrows). (C) Axial proton density-weighted fat-suppressed, (D) sagittal T2-weighted fat-suppressed, and (E) sagittal T1-weighted MRI scans show continuation into a nondisplaced anteroinferior labral tear (arrows).
