PET agents differentiate Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease
Researchers have found that using PET brain imaging with florbetapir and FDG can differentiate cardiovascular disease from symptoms of mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. The combination can also detect amyloid plaques in patients with cardiovascular disease.

MRI use linked to patient mortality in Irish study
A new study of MRI use at a hospital in Ireland paints a complex picture of the modality, with higher in-hospital mortality and longer hospital stays for patients who got MRI scans. However, this could be because the patients were more acutely ill, according to an article in the July Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Could elastography replace conventional ultrasound-guided FNAC?
By Amerigo Allegretto
Strain elastography does not have additional benefits over conventional elastography-guided FNAC for diagnosing malignancy in thyroid nodules.
October 15, 2024
Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a solitary left-sided thyroid nodule classified at gray-scale ultrasound as category U3, upgraded to category U4 at strain elastography, and classified as category Thy4 at cytopathologic examination. Subsequent surgical histopathologic examination confirmed papillary cell carcinoma. (A) Longitudinal view of the left thyroid lobe demonstrates the low reflective nodule (between arrows) measuring 13 × 12 × 11 mm (not shown) and with a halo. (B) A longitudinal image with side-by-side visualization of the nodule (arrow) at gray scale (left) and strain elastography (right). The nodule is predominantly blue, indicating increased stiffness. (C) A longitudinal view shows the needle (arrows) within the stiffer aspect of the nodule for cytology sampling. U and Thy categories are according to British Thyroid Association system.
