Separating inflammation from malignancy on thoracic FDG-PET
Despite its whiz-bang capabilities in imaging cancer patients, FDG-PET scans do have their pitfalls, particularly when it comes to nonmalignant chest abnormalities. In a pictorial essay in the American Journal of Roentgenology, Dr. Syed Asad and colleagues highlighted some of the infectious and inflammatory lesions that may mimic tumor.

CR mammography increases visibility of lesions in dense breasts, study finds
Computed radiography for breast imaging offers a greater level of lesion conspicuity than screen-film mammography, and may be of particular value in dense breasts. Dr. Jeffrey Quam from the Mayo Clinic shared the results of his group’s investigation at the 2003 RSNA conference in Chicago. At the time of the study, Quam was based at the clinic in Rochester, MN; he is now at the Scottsdale, AZ facility.

IR, ob/gyns square off in UAE performance debate
The turf war over uterine artery embolization (UAE) has escalated as a gynecologist goes on the offensive, suggesting that his specialty would be better suited to perform the procedure. But interventional radiologists have fired back, stating that gynecologists are simply not properly trained for such technical, imaging-based surgery.

Teenage wasteland? fMRI study shows adolescent brain is short on motivation
It’s this complex cost-to-benefit relationship in the adolescent brain that a recent neuroimaging study tackled. As with most of us, teenagers are thrilled with the idea of a reward. Yet how far are they willing to go to achieve it? And if there’s a stress-free way to obtain something good, will they gleefully go for it, regardless of the consequences?

Computer assistance aids mammographers in making more specific diagnosis, avoiding biopsy
Breast imaging specialists continue to fine-tune the role of computer-aided detection (CAD) and/or classification (CAC). One international group, from New York and Israel, has looked at how useful computer software is to mammographers in two different ways: In their first study, they used CAD to compare the shape of individual microcalcifications to clusters as a whole in diagnostic breast imaging. In the second paper, they applied CAC specifically to notoriously ambiguous BI-RADS 3 breast lesions.

Breast cancer patients show characteristics of acute stress disorder
Women with a history of breast cancer are more likely to suffer from a stress response syndrome that could adversely affect their willingness to participate in routine mammography or follow-up after treatment, according to a study by mental health professionals.
