Across all 10 adult CT examination categories, CTDIvol achievable doses and diagnostic reference levels generally decreased from 2014 to 2025, with the largest reductions for torso examinations (chest; abdomen-pelvis; and combined chest, abdomen, and pelvis), intermediate reductions for neck and cervical spine, and minimal change for head examinations.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/womens-imaging/breast/article/15831053/cem-finds-breast-cancer-at-baseline-incidence-screeningAuntMinnieen2026-07-28T19:16:10.000ZCEM finds breast cancer at baseline, incidence screeninghttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-28-radiology-cem.cjeTavBVbK.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Images in a 70-year-old asymptomatic woman with a prior excisional biopsy in the left breast yielding lobular carcinoma in situ 3 years earlier. Screening contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) was performed, which was considered a prevalence screen as the woman had no prior breast MRI in the past 3 years and no prior CEM. <strong>(A)</strong> Low-energy (26–30 kVp) mediolateral oblique (MLO) and <strong>(B)</strong> craniocaudal (CC) views show surgical clips but no abnormality. <strong>(C)</strong> Recombined MLO and <strong>(D)</strong> CC images show an enhancing mass in the medial left breast (arrows). Biopsy revealed invasive lobular carcinoma. Size was 0.2 cm; tumor grade II/III; negative lymph nodes; and estrogen receptor–positive, progesterone receptor–positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative.https://www.auntminnie.com/editors-note/article/15830872/week-in-review-minnies-nominations-are-open-ct-shows-pager-blast-damage-pluvicto-for-earlierstage-prostate-cancerAuntMinnieen2026-07-24T19:51:30.000ZWeek in Review: Minnies nominations are open | CT shows pager blast damage | Pluvicto for earlier-stage prostate cancerhttps://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15830851/spectct-viable-over-petct-for-highrisk-prostate-stagingAuntMinnieen2026-07-24T18:35:52.000ZSPECT/CT viable over PET/CT for high-risk prostate cancer staginghttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/spect-ct-vs-pet-ct.dxzBmRt2JJ.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Maximum intensity projection of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT (A), Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT (B) and Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT (C) imaging. Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CE-CT and Tc-99m MIP-1404 CZT SPECT/CT showing tracer uptake in lymph nodes below the iliac bifurcation and above, paraaortic and left supraclavicular, bone uptake in the right proximal femur and right scapula (arrows). Tc-99m HDP CZT SPECT/CT did not show any uptake suspicious for metastatic disease.
