Microwave ablation on par with surgery for thyroid cancer survival
By Amerigo Allegretto
Microwave ablation may be a suitable alternative to surgical resection when it comes to ultrasound-detected thyroid cancer.
April 2, 2024
Ultrasound images in a 57-year-old female patient with multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma. (A) Routine ultrasound scan shows two hypoechoic papillary thyroid carcinoma nodules (arrows) in the left lobe. (B) Preablation contrast-enhanced ultrasound image shows hypoenhancement in the arterial phase (arrows). (C) Isolating fluid (black arrow) is used to protect the muscles beside the nodule (white arrow) during the ablation. (D) Postablation contrast-enhanced ultrasound image shows no enhancement in the original tumor zone (arrows). Image courtesy of the RSNA.

Can AI help chest DDR achieve clinical adoption?
By Will Morton
Chest dynamic digital radiography (DDR) may have received a boost toward clinical use in patients with lung disorders, with researchers developing AI to perform time-consuming analysis involved in the technology.
April 1, 2024
(a) Raw example of a dynamic digital radiograph. (b) Contrast equalization using contrast-limited adaptive equalization shows improved anatomical visualization. (c) Training data is generated through manually labeling using SLEAP’s graphical user interface. (d-e) Neural network detection schematic. For each quadrant a series of two networks were used. The first identifies the quadrant center, the second using input of the first, then identifies individual anatomical landmarks within a quadrant. (d) Four neural networks were trained, each with the objective of identifying a chest quadrant centroid. The four separate quadrants are visualized as colored boxes (right upper quadrant, green; right lower quadrant, blue; left upper quadrant, red; left lower quadrant, yellow). (e) Serial centroid then anatomical identification. Two quadrant examples showing confidence maps of trained neural networks identifying quadrant centroids (left) and then anatomical confidence maps (right).

PET/MRI may improve diagnosis of Cushing disease
By Will Morton
PET/MRI could become the diagnostic method of choice over MRI alone for identifying small pituitary tumors associated with Cushing disease.
March 29, 2024
T1-weighted postgadolinium MR images (A and C) and F-18 FET-PET/MR images (B and D) centered at pituitary before (A and B) and after (C and D) transsphenoidal surgery. This patient with Cushing disease showed clear focal uptake (B) but no clear lesion on previously obtained and accompanying MRI (A). Postoperative tissue analysis did confirm resection of small pituitary adenoma/PitNET, and postoperative F-18 FET-PET showed no residual uptake (D). Image courtesy of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
