When to biopsy: How prostate MRI can transform best practice
In the era of MRI targeting, do all prostate cancer patients require an additional 12-core systematic biopsy? Moving away from default systematic biopsy in some cases may be wise, according to German researcher Dr. Dominik Deniffel, who has won a prestigious award for trainees at RSNA 2021.

POCUS improves timeliness in emergency pregnancy care
Emergency POCUS can reduce length of stay and time to diagnosis while not leading to more missed diagnoses of ectopic pregnancy.
This figure shows fused I-124 evuzamitide positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) images from patients without amyloidosis and from patients with ATTR cardiac amyloidosis, early ATTR cardiac amyloidosis, light chain cardiac amyloidosis, gelsolin-mediated amyloidosis, and systemic organ amyloid. The columns represent radiological transaxial, sagittal, and coronal views except for the last row middle and far right columns, which are coronal projections. The blue asterisks represent physiological activity (tracer activity in the stomach and esophagus). The arrowheads represent pathological uptake. Note the small amount of cardiac uptake in the basal septum and the basal lateral walls (likely early ATTR cardiac amyloidosis), splenic uptake and pleural uptake in light chain amyloidosis, and cardiac and kidney uptake in gelsolin-mediated amyloidosis. The bright yellow color represents more tracer uptake.

Representative case from the non-nitroglycerin cohort. A 92-year-old man who did not receive sublingual nitroglycerin because of severe aortic stenosis. The Agatston coronary artery calcium score was 5438. (A) Curved multiplanar reformatted CCTA image reconstructed at 0.4-mm slice thickness using a Bv60 kernel and QIR strength 3 demonstrates diffuse multifocal mild luminal stenoses related to extensive calcified atherosclerotic plaque. (B) Invasive coronary angiography confirmed multifocal mild stenoses without evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease.
