Advances and limitations surface in imaging the treated breast

Imaging is indispensable in evaluating the efficacy of breast cancer therapies, and technological advances have improved patient care. But radiologists still face a number of challenges with imaging breast cancer patients, according to a refresher course at the European Congress of Radiology.

Radiologists and gastroenterologists increase their cooperation for improved efficiency

Multidisciplinary work is key to modern medicine, and the cooperation between radiology and gastroenterology in detecting colorectal cancer is one example. Technical refinements have notably improved its early diagnosis, and experts discussed how to further improve results during Friday's ESR Meets Gastroenterologists session.

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.

Is it time to ditch physical exams before ultrasound?

By Amerigo Allegretto

Physical exams are omitted in over half of patient cases, and it seems diagnostic outcomes are unaffected.

AI model detects achalasia on chest x-rays

Currently, few noninvasive tests are available for diagnosing the swallowing condition.

September 18, 2025

Saliency maps using Grad-CAM++ (E and H) show the model’s point of interest in chest radiographs (C and F) of patients with achalasia. The model’s point of interest is highlighted with red, yellow, and green. In both the upper and lower panels (E and H), the point of interest is located in a region around the upper esophagus that corresponds to an air esophagogram and/or air-fluid level in the esophagus in the barium esophagogram (D and G).

Echogenic rind on breast ultrasound holds diagnostic significance

By Amerigo Allegretto

An echogenic rind on breast ultrasound could spell malignancy for suspicious lesions.

September 17, 2025

Diagnostic transverse ultrasound image of the left breast in a 64-year-old woman shows irregular hypoechoic nonparallel mass with indistinct margins corresponding to palpable finding, assessed as BI-RADS category 4. Both readers assessed mass as having associated echogenic rind with complete circumferential extent (arrowheads). Ultrasound-guided biopsy of mass yielded diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (intermediate grade, luminal A molecular subtype, no lymphovascular invasion).
