Breast imagers get savvy as healthcare reform looms
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Breast imagers are reasonably well positioned to ride out the changes healthcare reform will bring in the U.S. However, all radiologists need to be aware of issues relating to proposed healthcare funding legislation and federal healthcare reform, according to a presentation at this week's Society of Breast Imaging postgraduate course.

US replaces x-ray for diagnosing childhood constipation
British pediatricians at a London children's hospital are using ultrasound to assess the severity of constipation in children. They have found that ultrasound is a good substitute for abdominal x-ray, with its radiation exposure, or a digital rectal examination, a procedure that children find unpleasant and disturbing.

Endometrial cancer radiation treatment increases second cancer risk
In 2008, 41,800 women were diagnosed with endometrial cancer, and approximately one-third of them had radiation therapy to treat the disease. But radiation therapy for women with early-stage, low-risk endometrial cancer has been controversial due to the possible risk of developing additional cancers -- a concern recently verified by Michigan researchers.

Kids are kings of the castle at South Dakota hospital
Being admitted to a hospital can be a scary experience for any kid. But a newly opened hospital in Sioux Falls, SD, is hoping to make visits more Disney than dreadful, thanks to an imaginative design that combines state-of-the-art technology, child-sized facility design, and a castlelike building with a fairy-tale theme.

Effectiveness of APBI breast cancer treatment is age-neutral, study suggests
One of the concerns of accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) -- that it may not be appropriate for younger women because, historically, they have higher risk of local failure with conventional radiation therapy -- may be offset by a new study comparing local control, toxicity, and cosmesis outcomes of women older and younger than 50.

Outcomes data add accuracy to mammography interpretations
Radiologists already have access to computer-aided detection software for analyzing medical images. But what if you had a tool that provides an extra level of data analysis including patient demographic risk factors and outcomes data? Would it help you decide whether a finding warranted recalling the patient?

U.K. specialists want relevancy, detail in radiology reports
Radiology reports that are most beneficial include clinical comments and are presented in a consistent, easy-to-read tabular format, according to a survey of physicians ordering radiology procedures from a community hospital in northwest England.

Active thyroid surveillance effective, beneficial for older patients
A 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with ER-positive (Allred score 8) ILC in her right breast. Ultrasound and MRI found prominent lymph nodes in right axillary level I area, diagnosed as metastasis on ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. F-18 FES-PET/CT showed a positive mass in right breast (white arrow; SUVmax, 5.6) and multiple F-18 FES–positive lymph nodes in right axillary level I, II, and II/III junction areas (red arrows; SUVmax, up to 12.2). In addition, a small F-18 FES-positive lymph node was observed in the right second internal mammary area (red circles; SUVmax, 1.8). However, biopsy could not be performed because it was too small and not visible on ultrasound; the clinician decided to include internal mammary lymph node in treatment field for adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient underwent lumpectomy with ALN dissection, with five metastases being identified in 13 lymph nodes dissected, and is scheduled to receive adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy.
