MRgFUS shows promise in treating prostate cancer
By Amerigo Allegretto
MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) therapy can successfully treat prostate cancer for those at intermediate risk.
March 7, 2024
Images depict biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer in a 56-year-old man. (A) Pretreatment axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo MRI scan and (B) apparent diffusion coefficient map acquired with a 3T scanner show the tumor in the left transition zone (arrows). (C) Intraoperative 1.5-T MRI scan shows the contoured rectal wall (red line), prostate margin (blue outline), and region of interest (orange outline). (D) Intraoperative MRI scan shows a focused ultrasound beam path (blue) overlaid on the treatment plan. The rectangular boxes show each sonication spot. (E) Thermal map obtained during treatment shows heat deposition color-coded in red and overlaid on the sonication spot. (F) Axial gadobutrol-enhanced MRI scan obtained immediately after treatment shows the devascularized ablated volume (arrows). (G) Corresponding T2-weighted fast spin-echo 3T MRI scan obtained at 24 months after ablation shows fibrosis and volume loss in the left transition zone (arrows). Findings from a biopsy showed scar tissue, negative for malignancy at the treatment site.

PET lung scan times could be cut by half
By Will Morton

March 6, 2024
A 60-year-old male patient with clinical suspicion of lung cancer. PET/CT scan showed FDG-avid pulmonary nodules in the upper lobe of the left lung (red arrow), with a size of 2.2 × 1.3 cm, SUVmax of 12.2, Ki-65 min of 0.016 ml/g/min, and Ki-30 min of 0.014 ml/g/min. Surgical pathology confirmed a granulomatous lesion. In addition, PET/CT scan showed many FDG-avid lung nodules in the mediastinum. (A, static PET maximum intensity projection; B, static PET SUV image; C, static PET/CT fusion image; D, dynamic PET Ki-65 min image; E, dynamic PET Ki-30 min image). Image courtesy of EJNMMI Physics.
