Multislice CT beats aortography for pediatric thoracic aortic coarctation
Results from a study by Tunisian researchers indicate that compared with invasive contrast aortography, 64-slice CT is the imaging modality of choice for pediatric patients with thoracic aortic coarctation.

Cincinnati meeting starts long road to harmonizing CT dose displays
Advocates for reducing pediatric CT radiation dose agree that a recent meeting at Cincinnati Children's Hospital was a productive first step toward harmonizing the way CT scanners display radiation dose. But conference participants also concur that it could take years to implement the changes discussed.

Study: Radiologists dial back on pediatric CT settings
A new study has found that radiologists are cutting back on the power settings used during pediatric CT scans compared to 2001 -- a sign that increased attention regarding CT radiation dose in children is having a positive effect.

ACR CEO talks imaging’s role in spending bill
Images in a 62-year-old woman who presented for screening. (A) Image from DBT screening (the synthesized 2D mediolateral oblique view of the left breast is shown) at year on was interpreted as negative and showing heterogeneously dense breast. (B) Image from molecular breast imaging screening (mediolateral oblique view) at year one reveals a 0.9-cm non-mass focal area of uptake in the left breast (arrow). (C) Targeted ultrasound scan (transverse image) shows a suspicious mass in the 3-o’clock position of the left breast, 4 cm from the nipple. Ultrasound-guided core biopsy and lumpectomy revealed a 0.9-cm grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma, an estrogen receptor–negative, progesterone receptor–negative, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative lesion, with two sentinel nodes negative (N0).

Adding MBI to DBT finds more breast cancers

An example of a typical BgRT plan: A) PET scan on diagnostic PET/CT and B) X1 PET-Linac for patient #15 with a PET avid rib metastasis with GTV size= 3.1 cc, PTV = GTV + 5mm, BTZ (biological tracking zone) = PTV + 5 mm, AC = 14.33 kBq/mL and NTS = 21.04. Red, magenta, and green contours represent GTV, PTV, and BTZ. C) Dose distribution and D) bounded-DVH of a BgRT plan are displayed for the same patient. The bounded Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) models variations in BgRT delivery, encompassing fluctuation in target background signal variation, target localization and dose delivery uncertainties.
