Parizel takes ECR delegates on cerebral journey of discovery and hope
VIENNA - Emerging functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, and diffusion kurtosis imaging can provide a better understanding of the microstructure and function of the brain, and help to elucidate some of the mechanisms involved in neuroplasticity, explained Dr. Paul Parizel in the Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen Honorary Lecture at ECR 2014.

Tread cautiously with MR-guided prostate biopsies
VIENNA - MR-guided biopsies of the prostate should only be performed in select patients, and it's vital to keep aware of false-negative results. Also, an urgent need exists for robust multicenter trials of targeted biopsies of the prostate, ECR 2014 delegates learned during a Special Focus session on Saturday.

Bezzi: To succeed with lung biopsies, talk to your patients
VIENNA - When it comes to lung biopsies, the key factors are patient consent and collaboration, indications and contraindications, imaging review, guidance selection, patient positioning and the use of local anesthesia, and recovery and potential complications, a leading Italian interventional radiologist told a standing-room only Mini Course on Thursday.

December 9, 2025
Scans in a 73-year-old man with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (prostate-specific antigen level of 0.5 ng/mL) who underwent PET/CT with 9.4 mCi of F-18 piflufolastat and a second PET/CT examination with 8.1 mCi of copper 61-NODAGA (1,4,7-triazacyclononane,1-glutaric acid-4,7-acetic acid)–prostate-specific membrane antigen for imaging and therapy (Cu-61 PSMA I&T) 24 days apart, with no intervening therapy. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) images obtained (A) 1 hour after F-18 piflufolastat administration and (B) 1, (C) 2, and (D) 4 hours after Cu-61 PSMA I&T administration are shown. Physiologic uptake is seen in the lacrimal glands, salivary glands, liver, spleen, kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Pathologic uptake in pelvic nodal metastases is labeled with arrows. The F-18 piflufolastat PET/CT MIP image reveals two avid pelvic nodal metastases (arrows). Cu-61 PSMA I&T PET/CT scans demonstrate three avid pelvic nodal metastases on 1-hour and 2-hour images (arrows); five avid pelvic nodal metastases were suspected on the 4-hour image (arrows).
Radiologists can designate nonmass lesions on breast ultrasound
By Amerigo Allegretto
Breast radiologists achieved moderate to substantial interreader agreement for classifying nonmass lesions on ultrasound.
December 9, 2025
Images depict a 50-year-old woman with a lesion detected during screening ultrasound. (A) Transverse and (B) longitudinal images reveal a 0.5-cm hypoechoic lesion (arrow) in the left breast. (C) Transverse color Doppler ultrasound image does not show an increase in vascularity. Two readers classified the lesion as a mass, whereas two others categorized it as a nonmass lesion, leading to its designation as a controversial nonmass lesion. Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and subsequent pathologic examination confirmed a nonproliferative breast change.
