Road to RSNA 2013: Molecular Imaging Preview
By Wayne Forrest
Presentations at RSNA 2013 will showcase molecular imaging and nuclear medicine's expanding range of clinical applications. This year includes scientific sessions, poster presentations, and refresher courses on topics such as the pros and cons of PET/MRI and PET/CT, cardiac SPECT and PET, molecular breast imaging, and more.

PET/MRI gets high marks for lymphoma staging
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 4 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSK17-03 | Room S505ABGerman researchers believe FDG-PET/MRI is a promising method for staging lymphoma, given that the hybrid modality's images are analogous to PET/CT without the ionizing radiation from CT.

Lower-dose MBI still finds more cancers in dense tissue
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 3 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSG01-08 | Room E451AUsing lower doses of radiopharmaceuticals in molecular breast imaging (MBI) works just as well as higher doses, researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, have found.

MBI produces few false positives in dense breast screening
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 3 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSG01-07 | Room E451AA study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, shows that molecular breast imaging (MBI) provides a relatively low additional false-positive rate compared with other modalities for supplemental screening in women with dense breasts.

BSGI improves sensitivity of mammography, ultrasound
By Kate Madden Yee
Tuesday, December 3 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG01-06 | Room E451AAdding breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) to mammography and ultrasound improves the ability of these modalities to find cancer, according to a study that will be presented at RSNA 2013 on Tuesday.

Study touts benefits of PET/MRI for breast cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 3 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSG01-03 | Room E451AGerman researchers from Essen University Hospital are showing positive results for PET/MRI over PET/CT for detecting and estimating the size of malignant breast lesions.

FDG-PET/CT perhaps unnecessary for anal cancer staging
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, December 2 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSE08-05 | Room E353CIn this scientific session, Swedish researchers will discuss how contrast-enhanced CT appears to be sufficient for lymph node staging in squamous cell carcinoma of the anorectum and anal verge, decreasing the need for biopsy and PET/CT.

SPECT/CT should be used for lymph nodes with vulvar cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, December 2 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE20-01 | Room S505ABWhen it comes to detecting both sentinel lymph nodes and downstream lymph nodes in vulvar cancer, SPECT/CT is superior to conventional planar lymphoscintigraphy, according to a new study from German researchers.

3T DWI-MRI equals PET/CT for bone and soft-tissue tumors
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, December 1 | 11:35 a.m.-11:45 a.m. | SSA14-06 | Room E451BKorean researchers have found that 3-tesla diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI-MRI) is comparable to FDG-PET/CT for evaluating bone and soft-tissue tumors.

FDG-PET/CT takes on bone scans for Ewing's sarcoma
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, December 1 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA18-03 | Room S505ABAre methylene diphosphonate bone scans necessary during initial staging of Ewing's sarcoma patients if FDG-PET/CT is performed? That's the question researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center sought to answer in this study.

Coregistration, mapping maximize accuracy of CT air-trapping evaluation
By Eric Barnes
Friday, December 6 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST04-01 | Room E451BCoregistering inspiration and expiration CT datasets and voxel-by-voxel mapping of Hounsfield unit values boost the accuracy of air-trapping assessment, according to researchers in Germany.
