Low-dose PEM shows promise in breast cancer detection
By Amerigo Allegretto

February 9, 2024
Images obtained in a 50-year-old female patient with a new biopsy-proven malignant lesion in the left breast. (A) Craniocaudal mammogram of the right breast does not show any lesion. (B) The malignant lesion corresponds with a 7-cm irregular and spiculated mass on the left craniocaudal mammogram. Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy revealed grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma. (C) The bilateral positron emission mammographic craniocaudal color image obtained one hour after intravenous injection of 185 MBq of F-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) shows a mass with intense uptake in the left breast with known cancer and no abnormal uptake in the right breast. Positron emission mammographic craniocaudal images of the left breast obtained (D) one hour and (E) four hours after intravenous injection of 185 MBq of F-18 FDG show no substantial visual difference in uptake of the known cancer. (F) Axial contrast-enhanced fat-saturated subtracted T1-weighted MR image with maximum intensity projection reconstruction obtained 90 seconds after intravenous injection of 0.1 mmol of gadolinium-based contrast material per kilogram of body weight also shows the enhancing mass corresponding to known malignancy (arrow) and marked bilateral background parenchymal enhancement, with multiple nonspecific foci of enhancement in the contralateral breast. The patient opted for bilateral mastectomy, which confirmed left-sided malignancy and no malignancy in the contralateral breast. Image courtesy of the RSNA,

Panel B: Data from a representative participant showing the effect of the dose correction on the PETWALK image using Equation 1 when applied to co-registered images in native subject space. The images were then warped to standard Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space Top: PETSTAND, middle – uncorrected PETWALK, bottom – corrected PETWALK. The color bar shows image intensity across the three images. Image courtesy of NeuroImage.
