PET/MRI makes clinical inroads, but work remains

PET/MRI is making progress in moving from being a research technology to a modality that's used clinically. Radiologists who use it frequently are recognizing its value for several applications, but work remains in convincing referring physicians of its worth.

U.S. team finds favor with new PEM unit

A positron emission mammography (PEM) unit developed in Spain offers key advantages for breast imaging, according to a Mayo Clinic team that has been testing it. The unit offers better resolution than whole-body PET, and it may prove more useful than molecular breast imaging using technetium-99m sestamibi.

Standards are emerging for use of color in medical imaging

For decades, the world of medical imaging has been visualized in shades of gray. But as color is becoming more common, challenges are emerging that mirror those solved years ago in grayscale imaging, namely regarding the use of standards to define the consistency of color images shown on different medical displays. Fortunately, help is on the way.

Burden of PSMA-expressing prostate cancer before and after treatment with two cycles of Lu-177 PSMA-617. (A and B) Reduction in overall disease burden is evident after treatment. Avidity of patient’s primary prostate tumor and his osseous metastasis shown before (C) and after (D) treatment.

Case report: Pluvicto as a first-line treatment in late-stage prostate cancer

Since 1996, the patient continually declined androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, and local therapy to the prostate gland.

Adding MBI to DBT finds more breast cancers

By Amerigo Allegretto

Adding molecular breast imaging (MBI) to DBT screening leads to more invasive cancers detected in women with dense breasts.

September 23, 2025

Images in a 62-year-old woman who presented for screening. (A) Image from DBT screening (the synthesized 2D mediolateral oblique view of the left breast is shown) at year on was interpreted as negative and showing heterogeneously dense breast. (B) Image from molecular breast imaging screening (mediolateral oblique view) at year one reveals a 0.9-cm non-mass focal area of uptake in the left breast (arrow). (C) Targeted ultrasound scan (transverse image) shows a suspicious mass in the 3-o’clock position of the left breast, 4 cm from the nipple. Ultrasound-guided core biopsy and lumpectomy revealed a 0.9-cm grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma, an estrogen receptor–negative, progesterone receptor–negative, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative lesion, with two sentinel nodes negative (N0).
