FDG-PET plus breast MRI may reduce unnecessary biopsies
By Kate Madden Yee
Monday, November 30 | 10:05 a.m.-10:15 a.m. | VM21-08 | Arie Crown TheaterThe combination of FDG-PET and breast MRI produces higher diagnostic accuracy than breast MRI alone, according to this scientific session presentation to be given by researchers from the University at Duisburg-Essen in Essen, Germany.

Ultrasound elastography falls short in reducing breast biopsies
By Brian Casey
Sunday, November 29 | 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. | LL-BR4058-B03 | Lakeside Learning CenterUltrasound elastography is a promising technique for a number of applications, one of which could be reducing the number of unnecessary breast biopsies by enabling clinicians to characterize suspicious tissue. However, Korean researchers on Sunday will discuss how they found that elastography fell short for this application.

Multicenter patient registry shows efficacy of BSGI
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 30 | 11:30 a.m.- 11:40 a.m. | VM21-13 | Arie Crown TheaterThis presentation will detail a study at four institutions that found that breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) "significantly contributed" to the discovery of malignant or high-risk lesions in patients with negative or indeterminate mammograms.

FDG-PET/CT helps assess pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis
By Wayne Forrest
Friday, December 4 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SST12-07 | Room S505ABFDG-PET/CT has high specificity for detecting pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (PLC), while FDG-PET alone can miss focal PLC in close proximity of primary cancer. Those conclusions will be presented by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, who observed that FDG-PET showed "significant uptake" in the area of PLC and aided in more accurate diagnoses.

Molecular mammography system could characterize suspicious tissue
By Wayne Forrest
Friday, December 4 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SST14-06 | Room S403BIn this Friday scientific session presentation, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco will discuss their work on what they call full-field digital molecular mammography (FFDMM), which they hope could be used in conjunction with conventional mammography to characterize malignant from benign tissue.

FDG-PET helps guide treatment of non-small cell lung cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Friday, December 4 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SST12-03 | Room S505ABResearchers from the University of California, San Diego have conducted a study demonstrating the efficacy of FDG-PET in identifying new lesions and recommend that the modality be used to complement Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

PET/CT provides roadmap for software-based registration of MR images
By Wayne Forrest
Friday, December 4 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SST14-03 | Room S403BRSNA attendees who stay through Friday will be able to attend this scientific session presentation by German researchers who are developing a method of software-based registration of PET and MR images. They hope the technique will allow for reliable identification of the underlying anatomical structure through tracer accumulation.

PET/CT beats 3-tesla MRI for staging colon cancer patients
By Wayne Forrest
Friday, December 4 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SST05-02 | Room E353CCall it a clash of imaging titans: 3-tesla MRI and PET/CT face off over the staging of colon cancer patients in this study to be presented in the scientific sessions by Italian researchers, who found that PET/CT is more accurate than whole-body MRI.

Sodium fluoride PET/CT changes management of foot pain patients
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ19-03 | Room S505ABIn this scientific session presentation, researchers from Switzerland will discuss how F-18 sodium fluoride PET/CT has the potential to help manage patients with persistent foot pain due to detection of unsuspected active osseous changes.

FDG-PET faces off against MDCT for gallbladder carcinoma
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG16-06 | Room S505ABFDG-PET again shows its prowess for cancer diagnosis in this Tuesday scientific session presentation. A Korean research team will discuss its findings, which indicate that the modality is useful to establish the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer and for differentiating inflammatory or benign lesions from malignancy.
