Dynamic MRI techniques detail patterns, problems in shoulder motion
Like a golf ball perched on a tee, the glenohumeral joint in the shoulder is in a precarious position. By combining MR with a clinical exam, radiologists and orthopedists can take a look at the anatomy as well as the function of an abnormal shoulder joint.

Stanford researchers tout MRI for osteoarthritis evaluation
SAN FRANCISCO - The Centers for Disease Control has predicted that in the next 20 years nearly 60 million people in the United States will seek relief from osteoarthritis and other articular cartilage diseases. As a result, the imaging community will have the chance to become an integral part of the treatment process.

FES-PET effective for staging breast cancer in phase II trial
By Will Morton
F-18 fluroestradiol (FES)-PET/CT appears as effective as standard imaging for staging women with estrogen receptor-positive locally advanced breast cancer or evaluating suspected recurrence.
July 26, 2024
The patient was a woman in her 50s with suspected recurrence of invasive lobular breast cancer. A, maximum intensity projection image from FDG-PET/CT demonstrating avid foci in the chest (red arrow). Transaxial CT (B) and transaxial fused FDG-PET/CT image (C) showing that the chest avidity corresponds to FDG-avid lung nodules (red arrows) suspicious for malignancy. The lung nodule was subsequently biopsied but found to represent benign granulomatous inflammation and thus a false positive on FDG-PET/CT. D, maximum intensity projection image from FES-PET/CT demonstrating multifocal uptake suspicious for malignancy. E, transaxial CT and fused FES-PET/CT demonstrating no FES-avidity in the biopsy proven benign granulomatous lung nodules (red arrows), thus true negative on FES-PET/CT. FES-avidity in nodes (white arrow) is suspicious for malignancy. F, transaxial CT and fused FES-PET/CT demonstrates gastric avidity (blue arrow) suspicious for malignancy. G, transaxial CT and fused FES PET/CT demonstrates FES-avid osseous foci (yellow arrow) suspicious for malignancy. This osseous focus was subsequently biopsied and proved to be an osseous metastasis and thus true positive on FES-PET/CT.
