(A) Images in a 39-year-old male patient with a mass in the left thigh. The mass is heterogeneous on the B-mode US image (compared with the patient in D) and showed increased microvascularity (superb microvascular imaging [SMI]) and shear-wave elastography (SWE) values. Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy (with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma in surgical specimen). (B) Images in an 18-year-old male patient with a mass in the left leg. The mass is hypoechoic on the B-mode image, with no other findings suggestive of malignancy. The lesion is in contact with the cortex of the tibia, which is slightly irregular. CT revealed a doubtful anteromedial tibial erosion. The microvascular study demonstrated high vascularization, suggestive of malignancy. Periosteal Ewing sarcoma was diagnosed with both histologic and immunohistochemical confirmation. (C) Images in a 69-year-old female patient with a lump growing on the outside of the left leg. Multiple SWE examinations were performed (please note the high values obtained in the measurements, whereas the color map highlights the stiffness relative to adjacent tissues). SMI showed areas of increased vascularization to target for sampling. Undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with residual leiomyosarcoma in the surgical specimen after neoadjuvant therapy. (D) Images in a 56-year-old female patient with a mass in the right thigh. The mass is heterogeneous at both B-mode ultrasound (similar to patient A) and MRI (coronal T2-weighted spectral attenuated inversion recovery [SPAIR]; T1-weighted pre-contrast and postcontrast imaging), which even shows uptake after the administration of paramagnetic contrast material, which is traditionally suggestive of malignancy. Low values at SMI and elastography are suggestive of benignity. Spindle cell lipoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the surgical specimen.https://www.auntminnie.com/practice-management/medicolegal/article/15833432/former-philips-engineer-convicted-of-xray-trade-secret-theftAuntMinnieen2026-08-26T17:22:50.000ZFormer Philips engineer convicted of x-ray trade secret thefthttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/shutterstock-2569555895.3JnNZch7Uu.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/home/article/15833396/thymic-health-should-be-considered-for-radiotherapy-planningAuntMinnieen2026-08-26T15:11:18.000ZThymic health should be considered for radiotherapy planninghttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/radiation-treatment-cancer-400-2.7ciuHc44AM.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/home/article/15833349/malpractice-suits-tied-to-diagnostic-errors-rising-costsAuntMinnieen2026-08-26T13:00:00.000ZMalpractice suits tied to diagnostic errors, rising costshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/legal.ov7e1JIXrw.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ct/article/15833338/ct-reveals-progressive-growth-pattern-in-incidental-lung-nodulesAuntMinnieen2026-08-25T18:40:45.000ZCT reveals progressive growth pattern in incidental lung noduleshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/lung-nodules.y09HwvHMJa.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Serial axial chest CT scans demonstrating the longitudinal evolution of small pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) incidentally detected during a routine wellness assessment. (A) Images in a 37-year-old woman with a family history of lung cancer show a nodule with the progressive growth pattern (box). The baseline CT scan, obtained in October 2017, demonstrates a pure ground-glass nodules in the right lower lobe. Consecutive CT scans obtained from 2017 to 2022 show the continuous enlargement of the nodule during active surveillance. The maximum diameter of the nodule increased from 5.6 mm in 2017 to 10.2 mm in 2022. (B) Images in a 45-year-old man show a nodule with the indolent growth pattern (box). The baseline CT scan, obtained in April 2018, demonstrates a pure ground-glass nodules in the left lower lobe. Consecutive CT scans obtained from 2019 to 2023 show that the nodule remained radiographically stable during CT surveillance. The maximum diameter of the nodule was 5.4 mm in 2018 and 6.1 mm at the final surveillance scan in 2023.https://www.auntminnie.com/home/article/15833230/mri-detects-aria-in-21-of-realworld-donanemab-patientsAuntMinnieen2026-08-24T19:53:14.000ZMRI detects ARIA in 21% of real-world donanemab patientshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/alzd.22fqQzSB5i.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ct/article/15833086/what-independent-clinics-need-to-know-before-buying-a-ct-scannerAuntMinnieen2026-08-24T12:00:00.000ZWhat independent clinics need to know before buying a CT scannerhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/brandon-bush-headshot.yCtaLVMLq2.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Brandon Bush, Head of operations, Arinetahttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/joe-mason-headshot.9WuX42TNw3.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Joe Mason, Head of service, Arinetahttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/shutterstock-398149600.CnNjH0L8JS.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/radiation-oncology-therapy/article/15833102/radiotherapy-access-could-address-gynecological-cancer-disparitiesAuntMinnieen2026-08-24T07:05:00.000ZRadiotherapy access could address gynecological cancer disparitieshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/radiotherapy-400.pgmnaCxKrT.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/editors-note/article/15833124/week-in-review-ai-software-testing-wearable-ultrasound-minnies-nominationsAuntMinnieen2026-08-21T21:08:18.000ZWeek in Review: AI software testing | Wearable ultrasound | Minnies nominationshttps://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/radiation-oncology-therapy/article/15833108/food-insecurity-linked-to-higher-risk-of-death-in-breast-cancerAuntMinnieen2026-08-21T21:03:12.000ZFood insecurity linked to higher risk of death in breast cancerhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/food-insecurity.3DPqxCmV0T.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15833051/how-much-surveillance-imaging-is-needed-for-meningiomasAuntMinnieen2026-08-21T17:04:55.000ZHow much surveillance imaging is needed for meningiomas?https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/mri-slide-400.GZPpTSEPAH.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15833000/petct-outperforms-mri-after-focal-therapy-for-prostate-cancerAuntMinnieen2026-08-20T19:27:33.000ZPET/CT outperforms MRI after focal therapy for prostate cancerhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/psma-pet-focal-therapy.TXdut0JPhZ.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70True-positive PSMA-PET with positive MRI in 74-year-old male with prostate cancer (Gleason score of 4 + 5; left anterior and posterior apex positive cores).
