Part II: A survey of asbestos-related imaging

Nearly 1,500 people died from an asbestos-induced condition in 2000, and the number is expected to climb. This may mean more lawsuits and more x-ray interpretations for certified B readers. Part II of our series on asbestos-related imaging examines whether x-ray will continue to be the modality of choice in deciding these cases.

Part I: The back story on asbestos x-ray B readers

A recent Academic Radiology study suggested that B readers may not always be on the up and up with their asbestos-related x-ray interpretations. Part I of our two-part series on asbestos-related imaging focuses on the story behind B readers and their expert testimony.

MR clarifies paralabral cysts as common source of hip pain

Pinpointing the cause of anterior hip pain is not always easy. A complex structure, the hip has multiple components with the potential to produce similar pain syndromes. Whatever the reason behind the pain, MRI can help identify the problem. Two groups of researchers share their experiences and views on using MRI with cases of sciatica and labral tears.

Animal study shows PET/CT can detect brain damage from TMT poisoning

A feasibility study in rats suggests that PET/CT can detect brain damage caused by trimethyltin chloride (TMT), a hazardous compound widely used in plastics production.

Micro-PET/CT images of rats. (a) At 24 hours in the control group, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue was normal, and the PET/CT images were red and white; (b) At 7 days in the control group, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue were normal, and the PET/CT images were red and white; (c) At 24 hours after TMT exposure, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue were in a low state, and the PET/CT images were orange and yellow. (d) 7 days after TMT exposure, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue further decreased, and the PET/CT images appeared yellow and light yellow. There was no significant difference in the uptake of muscle tissue between the model group and the control group, and the PET/CT image was blue.
