CT, MRI helps pinpoint rare pancreatic alteration cystic fibrosis patients

VIENNA - Children with cystic fibrosis may suffer from an unusual form of pancreatic alteration characterized by macrocysts of different sizes distributed all over the gland. Researchers from the department of pediatric surgery at Children’s Hospital La Paz in Madrid analyzed the radiologic features of pancreatic cysts in a study presented at the European Congress of Radiology on Monday.

Full-field digital mammography holds its own against screen-film mammography

VIENNA - German researchers are bolstering the cause of full-field digital mammography (FFDM), reporting good image quality and lesion detectability in 100 patients who were screened with digital as well as screen-film mammography (SFM). Dr. Silvia Obenauer presented the results of her group’s study at the European Congress of Radiology meeting on Saturday.

Radiologists should review checklist before off-label MR contrast use

VIENNA - Peer-reviewed literature and a clear medical indication are just two of the issues that physicians should consider when deciding whether to use an MRI contrast agent for off-label purposes, according to radiologists from the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg and the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Scintimammography may back up x-ray mammo better than US

Evidence continues to mount in support of scintimammography (SMM) as a second-line test for detecting potential breast cancer. The latest study out of the United Kingdom shows that SMM, when combined with traditional mammography, can improve diagnostic accuracy.

fMRI catches breast lesions early in menstrual cycle

In order to avoid missed breast lesions, functional MRI should be performed when the extraction-flow volume is at its lowest in a woman’s menstrual cycle, according to researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Use of PCCT with gadoxetate disodium shows promise for liver imaging

By Kate Madden Yee

Using photon-counting CT (PCCT) with the gadolinium-based contrast agent gadoxetate disodium shows promise for improved liver visualization at a lower dose than is required for CT exams using other GBCA agents.

Using AI with mammography can help select women for breast MRI

By Amerigo Allegretto

Using AI with mammography can help select women at high risk of breast cancer for supplemental MRI.

February 4, 2025

Images depict a 55-year-old woman with a family history of breast cancer who underwent combined mammography and MRI screening. (A) Right and (B) left mediolateral oblique and (C) right and (D) left craniocaudal mammograms show a large known cyst in the left breast (arrow in B and D), but were otherwise assessed as being unremarkable. Breast tissue was judged to be extremely dense. (E) Concurrent axial subtraction MRI scan shows a large, diffuse, invasive lobular cancer (circle) in the right breast. The AI system provided a case-based cancer suspicion score of 8 on a scale of 0-10, which would have led to selection for MRI screening using both the score 5 and score 8 thresholds, but not the score 9 threshold.
