Good times ahead for MRI? Market conditions favor replacement
An era of constraint that compelled many MRI users to delay replacing their aging equipment may be coming to an end, and a new phase of scanner purchasing could be on the horizon, according to a new report on U.S. market conditions for the modality.

Radiologists vary DR image quality to optimize radiation dose
A new Chinese study questions the assumption that striving for the highest possible image quality is always the best approach. Researchers developed an x-ray optimization strategy that cuts the dose of digital radiography (DR) substantially by adjusting dose levels based on the type of exam being conducted.

Incidental findings on CT lung screening offer benefits, costs
Incidental findings uncovered at low-dose CT lung cancer screening increase the overall yield of malignancies diagnosed from the annual exams for high-risk, asymptomatic patients, but their evaluation adds an additional layer of cost to such programs, Danish researchers have found.

CT screening of COPD patients could boost cancer detection
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may carry a high enough risk for lung cancer to qualify them along with middle-aged smokers for annual low-dose CT lung cancer screenings -- even though they aren't covered under recently released guidelines.

CT's growth rate slows, but users remain optimistic
The growth rate for CT procedure volume has slowed markedly from the double-digit pace of a decade ago, but use of the modality is still growing, and CT users are generally optimistic, according to a new market research report from IMV Medical Information Division.

Survey finds Irish more positive on CT lung screening
A survey of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the Republic of Ireland suggests that better access to healthcare and more firsthand experience with CT may explain why they expressed a greater willingness to undergo low-dose CT lung cancer screening than current and former smokers in the U.S.

ATS: Lung cancers arise from tissue damaged by emphysema
SAN FRANCISCO - Preliminary research from the University of Pittsburgh shows that lung cancers originate in areas of the lung damaged by emphysema. The finding, presented at this week's American Thoracic Society (ATS) meeting, adds to evidence suggesting that a common underlying mechanism links the two diseases.

Personalized dosimetry highlights Y-90 talks at SIR show
Radiation therapy with yttrium-90 (Y-90) microbeads is making strides, as witnessed by presentations at last month's Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) meeting. Papers at the San Francisco meeting covered topics ranging from personalized dosimetry to just how close loved ones can get to patients who have received Y-90 therapy.

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.

Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.

Subgroup analysis based on lesion size on PCCT images. The red outlined areas highlight the magnified images of lesions. (A-C) PCCT images in a 62-year-old woman with a body mass index (BMI) of 23.6, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. A lesion with a long diameter of 25 mm was identified in the right lower lobe on axial images acquired during the venous phase. For lesions less than or equal to 30 mm, decreasing section thickness improved boundary sharpness and contrast between the necrotic area and enhanced tissue, with optimal visualization at 0.4 mm. (D-F) PCCT images in a 66-year-old man with a BMI of 24.2 who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, revealing a lesion with a long diameter of 52 mm in the right lower lobe. For lesions greater than 30 mm, a section thickness of 1 mm demonstrated better contrast and clarity at the boundary of the necrotic area compared with 0.4 mm. This observation supported the selection of an appropriate section thickness for accurate quantification of necrotic regions within the lesion.
