Choosing Wisely doesn't reduce pediatric chest x-rays
Nearly half of children presenting at U.S. emergency departments from 2007 to 2015 with acute bronchiolitis received radiography, despite the publication in 2013 of Choosing Wisely guidelines recommending against the imaging exam, according to a research letter published October 16 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Industry funding concentrated in radiation oncology
The vast majority of industry payments to radiation oncology researchers are concentrated among just 10 individuals, according to a study published September 12 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. And researchers who received payments from industry were more likely to publish more papers.

LUS reliable for care strategies in infants with RDS
By Amerigo Allegretto
Lung ultrasound (LUS) scoring is reliable for determining whether preterm newborns need surfactant for suspected respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
February 20, 2025
1Each lung has been split into three parts. Each area has been given a score between 0 and 3. Score values are shown in Ultrasonograms to match 4 different patterns. During a longitudinal scan with a high-resolution linear probe, pictures of patterns were taken. The scores are as follows: 0 means A pattern, 1 means B pattern, 2 means severe B pattern, and 3 means extended consolidation.

PSMA-PET tracer performs well in clinical trial
By Will Morton
PET/CT imaging with a new gallium-68-based prostate cancer radiotracer shows promise for detecting recurrent metastatic disease.
February 20, 2025
(A) Representative maximum-intensity projection and selected PET/CT images (fused, PET and CT only) of patient with metastatic prostate cancer at 1 hour after injection. (B and C) Low uptake of Ga-68 PSMA-R2 in salivary and submandibular glands is also demonstrated. (D) Images show heterogeneous uptake of Ga-68 PSMA-R2 with varying degrees of intensity in multiple spine bone lesions (vertebral sclerotic lesion with intense PSMA-R2 expression at its periphery indicated with red arrow).

CT best for diagnosing suspected wooden foreign objects in the eye
By Kate Madden Yee
CT imaging is best for diagnosing suspected intraorbital wooden foreign bodies, although MR imaging does offer valuable supplementary information.
February 20, 2025
A 7-year-old boy, imaged 15 hours post-injury. Axial CT images with soft tissue windows (WW/WL=350/50) (a) reveal a rod-shaped foreign body (white arrow) situated along the course of the right inferior rectus muscle. The soft tissue window demonstrates that the foreign body exhibits attenuation similar to orbital emphysema. Axial CT images (WW/WL=1000/−200) at the same level (b) show that the attenuation of the foreign body (white arrow) is markedly different from that of the air in the sinuses.

Epicardial adipose tissue on LDCT tied to cardiovascular mortality risk
By Amerigo Allegretto
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) on low-dose CT (LDCT) images is tied to higher cardiovascular mortality risk in lung cancer patients.

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) segmentation (shading) at noncontrast chest CT in axial orientation. Representative examples show EAT changes (ΔEAT) between baseline and two-year follow-up CT scans in participants who survived (typical changes) and increasing and decreasing EAT in participants who died.

7-minute shoulder MRI scans are feasible
By Will Morton
A commercially available deep-learning (DL) algorithm can enable high quality seven-minute shoulder MRI exams.
February 18, 2025
Images in an 18-year-old man with recurrent dislocations of the right shoulder. (A, B) Unenhanced coronal, (C) axial, and (D, E) sagittal deep learning super-resolution threefold parallel imaging -- accelerated turbo spin-echo MRI scans were obtained at 3-tesla field strength. (A) Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed (FS) and (B) coronal proton density (PD)-weighted MRI scans show a nondisplaced superior labral tear (arrows). (C) Axial proton density-weighted fat-suppressed, (D) sagittal T2-weighted fat-suppressed, and (E) sagittal T1-weighted MRI scans show continuation into a nondisplaced anteroinferior labral tear (arrows). All seven readers correctly diagnosed the arthroscopy-validated findings. (F) An arthroscopic photograph shows the anteroinferior labral tear (arrow). Image and caption courtesy of the RSNA.
