New FDA policy has changes for all gadolinium MRI agents

The revised labeling policy issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week appeared to zero in on Omniscan, Magnevist, and Optimark as the key suspects in the occurrence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, but the new rules also modify requirements for four other gadolinium-based contrast agents.

Study finds clinical niche for DR tomo in pulmonary lesions

Imaging researchers have long known that chest tomosynthesis is more sensitive than conventional x-ray for detecting malignant pulmonary lesions, while producing lower radiation dose than CT. Now, they are zeroing in on a precise role for this unique technology.

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.

Could AI scoring help with managing 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.

Clinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion type
