Contrast-mixing protocol improves GI opacification on CT
Many imaging facilities have developed different protocols for opacification of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract before CT of the abdomen or pelvis. In this article, Dr. Peter Quagliano offers his formula for diluting and administering ionic iodinated contrast for optimal performance in these scans.

PET/CT guides treatment in men with recurrent prostate cancer
By Will Morton
F-18 fluciclovine and Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT have similar benefits for sRT planning, in terms of improving cancer control without increased toxicity.
June 30, 2026
F-18 fluciclovine PET/CT images in a 59-year-old man with biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy (prostate-specific antigen level, 0.42 ng/mL; Gleason score, 5 + 4 = 9; T3BN1M0). (A) Coronal PET and (B) maximum intensity projection images show multiple retroperitoneal lymph nodes with abnormal radiotracer uptake (arrows). (C) Axial PET and (D) axial fused PET/CT images show the index lesion (arrow), measuring 13 × 10 mm, on the right precaval lymph node. The initial decision to offer radiation therapy to the prostate bed and pelvis was changed to a decision not to offer radiation therapy.
