Early FAPI-PET scans match 60-minute scans for lung cancer staging
By Will Morton
By convention, most molecular imaging tracers such as F-18 FDG are injected one hour prior to PET scans to allow time for uptake of the tracer by tumors.

PET/CT images performed at 10- and 60-minutes following injection of Ga-68 FAPI-46 (mean 181 MBq; range 143–225 MBq).

MSK AI tool for ultrasound shows promise for assisting novice imagers
By Liz Carey
The software evaluated for standard plane recognition and automatic key anatomy segmentation.

AI-acquired standardized planes. Example ultrasound images acquired in clinical settings with the on-cart, AI-based software, illustrating automated acquisition and anatomic annotation of three standard planes: (A) S5 dorsal longitudinal plane of the wrist joint, (B) S11 transverse section of the proximal carpal tunnel, and (C) S14 transverse section of the second and third flexor tendons. A1 = trochlea A1, Cap = capitate, C-M.JS = recess of the capitate-metacarpal joint, D&Ss = flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis tendons, FCR = flexor carpi radialis tendon, FD = flexor digitorum tendon, FPL = flexor pollicis longus tendon, L-C.JS = recess of the lunate-capitate joint, Lun = lunate, MN = median nerve, Pis = pisiform, Rad = radius, R-C.JS = recess of the radiocarpal joint, Sca = scaphoid, UA = ulnar artery, UN = ulnar nerve, 3rd Met = third metacarpal.
fMRI reveals postmenopausal brain connectivity shifts in midlife women
By Kate Madden Yee
The findings suggest that menopause represents "an important neurological transition," researchers noted.
June 9, 2026
Network-level analysis comparing functional association strength between ROIs of pre- and postmenopausal groups. Lower levels of connectivity were identified among one cluster (F3,106 = 8.84, Puncorrected < 0.001, PFDR = 0.012) in the postmenopausal group, which included the right supramarginal gyrus anterior division, right planum temporale, and right Heschl’s gyrus, among others. FDR, false discovery rate; ROI, region of interest.
Air pollution tied to worse coronary disease on CT, especially in women
By Kate Madden Yee
The strongest effects of pollution exposure is seen in women, even at moderate levels typical of high-income countries.
June 9, 2026
Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).
