Study assesses voice quality after glottic cancer
Voice quality is seldom the same after patients receive radiation therapy for early-stage glottic cancer. However, patients who smoke run the risk of having poorer voice quality following treatment compared to nonsmokers, according to results of a study conducted by Slovenian otorhinolaryngologists and radiation oncologists.

Esophagrams not ideal for pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis
The number of cases of eosinophilic esophagitis, a chronic inflammatory disorder of the esophagus, is rising in pediatric populations. However, endoscopy and pathological testing should remain the primary means of diagnosing the disease, not esophagrams, according to radiologists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

FAPI-PET/CT superior to FDG-PET/CT in assessing liver cancer
By Will Morton
A recent study suggests that PET/CT imaging with a FAPI radiotracer is superior to F-18 FDG-PET/CT for assessing patients with liver cancer.

Two cases of pathologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas in 68-year-old male patients. In both cases (A-H, case 1; I-P, case 2), CT scans (B, F, case 1; J, N, case 2) revealed intrahepatic bile duct dilation and suspected nodular lesions. While F-18 FDG PET/CT (A, C, D, case 1; I, K, L, case 2) failed to demonstrate abnormal tracer uptake (SUVmax 3.5, TBR 1.3 in Case 1; SUVmax 2.6, TBR 1.2 in Case 2), F-18 FAPI-04 PET/CT (E, G, H, case 1; M, O, P, case 2 ) showed positive uptake in the nodular lesions (SUVmax 9.7, TBR 3.5 in Case 1; SUVmax 9.6, TBR 3.3 in Case 2).

The number of all visible structures was fewer at an ambient light of 500 lux compared to both 25 and 75 lux. In addition, structure visibility was better with a gray wall color at all ambient light levels. Paired comparison between monitors showed better structure visibility on the high specification monitor for all condition.

Representative maximum-intensity projections of five patients (patients 3, 5, 7, 10, and 11) comparing Ga-68 NYM046 and F-18 FDG. Both tracers showed specific retention in bone and lymph node metastases (patients 10 and 11). Ga-68 NYM046 PET/CT outperformed F-18 FDG PET/CT in detecting primary tumors, lung metastases, and pleural metastases (patients 3, 5, 7, and 11).
