Cancer deaths eclipse heart disease in developed world
Cancer is now the leading cause of death in high-income countries, with twice as many people dying from cancer than heart disease in these nations. Heart disease continues to be the main cause of death in less prosperous countries, according to data presented at this week's European Society of Cardiology meeting in Paris.

German study finds trace gadolinium in fast-food drinks
Soft drinks served at fast-food outlets in a half-dozen cities in Germany had trace levels of gadolinium from MRI contrast agents, according to a recent study. While the research highlights the persistence of gadolinium in the environment, the levels most likely do not represent a health risk, experts say.

Sports imaging: Look beyond 'dark box' and collaborate for success
To make real progress in sports imaging, radiologists must look beyond the "dark box" and collaborate with referring doctors, attend multidisciplinary meetings at the hospital, discuss cases with clinical colleagues, and get feedback on the radiology report and direct correlation with arthroscopic findings, according to Dr. Claudia Weidekamm from the Medical University of Vienna.

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.
