Technicians have 'flexibility' during lumbar spine bone scans
Different hip flexion angles have little influence on lumbar spine bone mineral density measurements using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
Hybrid contrast-enhanced CT (with iodinated contrast bolus timed to maximize pulmonary arterial visualization) and F-18 DCFPyL PSMA-PET images. Contrast CT images (A, B) show an eccentric filling defect in the superior lingula segmental artery of the left lung upper lobe (red arrow). This is concordant with moderately intense PSMA radiotracer expression (black arrows on axial PET-only images, C, and on whole-body maximum intensity projection image, E). Fused PET and contrast-enhanced CT axial image (D) also confirm the lesion (red arrow). No other site of PSMA expressing metastasis is evident on whole-body imaging (E).

Does the PI-RADS update change prostate cancer treatment staging?
PI-RADS upgrade and downgrade rates from targeted MRI biopsy to radical prostatectomy haven't changed between PI-RADS version 2.0 and 2.1.
September 22, 2023
62-year-old patient with serum PSA level of 4.11 ng/mL. Prostate MRI shows lesion in left midanterior transition zone. Lesion (arrow) shows hypointensity on T2-weighted image (A), hyperintensity on high b-value DWI (B), hypointensity on ADC map (C), and focal early enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced image (D). Lesion was assessed as category 4 using PI-RADS version 2.1 MRI-targeted biopsy of lesion revealed prostate adenocarcinoma with ISUP grade group 2. At subsequent radical prostatectomy performed 6 months after biopsy, ISUP grade group was upgraded to 3. ISUP, International Society of Urogenital Pathology. Image courtesy of AJR.
