Will the shift to remote reading during COVID-19 be permanent?
Leaders in diagnostic imaging don't have a crystal ball for what working life will look like after the COVID-19 pandemic. But a couple things look certain for the future: Teleradiology use will continue to accelerate, and the horse is out of the proverbial barn when it comes to working from home.

Spectral CT opens doors to new clinical applications
Though somewhat of a hidden gem, spectral CT, also known as dual-energy CT, has the potential to play a role in the imaging of many organ systems and across medical specialties. In the future, new applications could help spectral CT come into wider clinical use and reach its full potential, experts and enthusiasts of the technology tell AuntMinnie.com.

SPECT/CT predicts foot amputations in diabetics

Examples in two patients. (Top) Abnormal leukocyte accumulation was observed in the right 1st to 5th toes, with the radioactive lesions extending to the bone, indicating osteomyelitis (left panel, MIP image; right panel, axial SPECT/CT). Two spherical VOIs were drawn on diabetic foot infections (DFIs) and the highest SUVmax was 4.2 (higher than the cutoff of 1.1) Despite intensive treatment, the infection progressed, leading to the patient undergoing right below knee amputation 43 days after SPECT/CT. (Bottom) Mild focal abnormal leukocyte accumulation was detected in the right 3rd and 4th toes. The lesions were in contact with the bone, which raised a suspicion of osteomyelitis (left panel, MIP image; right panel, axial SPECT/CT). A circular VOI was drawn on DFIs and the SUVmax was 1.0 (lower than the cutoff of 1.1). After 10 weeks of antibiotic treatment, the infection was successfully resolved, and the foot was preserved.
