PAWS program achieves sedation-free pediatric MRI scans
MRI can be scary for pediatric patients, but Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, TN, has found that a little extra attention can go a long way toward easing fears. A Vanderbilt initiative called Patients Awake While Scanned (PAWS) has helped nearly all young patients to complete MRI scans without sedation.

Luminal water MRI could be best for prostate cancer
Researchers from the University of British Columbia are reporting early success in developing a novel T2-based MRI technique that uses water content in prostate tissue to detect and grade cancer. The method outperformed several other MRI parameters, according to a study published in the August issue of Radiology.

Radiotherapy boost based on PET not always helpful
Selectively increasing radiotherapy dose in tumor areas with significant uptake of the PET radiotracer F-18 fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) does not necessarily improve outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer patients, according to a phase II study published in the July issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

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.
