#MyRadGirlfriend No. 24: That thing's a carcinogen

PSMA-PET images. (A) Representative examples illustrate the variability in the total tumor volume (TTV) among patients stratified by the number of metastatic lesions. (B) Case examples demonstrate TTV segmentation across a range of TTV values. Notably, as the tumor volume increased, a visible decrease in radiopharmaceutical uptake by normal organs is observed, particularly in the salivary glands, kidneys, and liver (denoted by brackets), a phenomenon known as the “sink effect.” SUV = standardized uptake value.

PET/CT metric improves outcome predictions in Pluvicto patients

The inclusion of total tumor volume (TTV) produces prediction models with better discriminatory ability.

Examples of tau PET patterns in atypical AD and 4R tauopathies. Three axial slices upon MRI or MRI template show radiotracer distribution in exemplary cases of atypical AD and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

Could AI scoring help with managing DCIS?

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. 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.

Clinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion type

By Kate Madden Yee

The modality correctly diagnoses dermoids and simple cysts, but is not as effective at identifying other types of adnexal lesions.

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.
