An incidental 8.5-mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule is identified at CT angiography of the abdomen in July 2022 but does not receive follow-up. Subsequent imaging demonstrates interval growth, and CT-guided biopsy confirms stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Contrast-enhanced axial chest CT images obtained on February 2, 2024, before robotic-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy, show a 12.1-mm spiculated right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. (A) Conventional contrast-enhanced axial chest CT image without AI assistance shows a 12.1-mm spiculated right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. (B) Corresponding CT image with AI-assisted pulmonary nodule detection, automated segmentation, and quantitative nodule assessment identifies a solid pulmonary nodule (nodule #1) measuring 13 × 8 (11) mm, with a volume of 739 mm3, a 45% volumetric increase compared with the previous contrast-enhanced chest CT performed on October 9, 2023 (510 mm3), and an estimated volume doubling time (VDT) of 216 days. (C) AI-generated longitudinal nodule analysis displays automated segmentation of the current (February 2, 2024) and previous (October 9, 2023) CT examinations, 3D nodule reconstruction, and quantitative volumetric assessment for longitudinal follow-up. The AI interface is displayed in the original software language (Dutch).https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/womens-imaging/article/15833883/pcct-on-par-with-mri-for-diagnostic-breast-imagingAuntMinnieen2026-09-01T19:16:38.000ZPCCT on par with MRI for diagnostic breast imaginghttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/09/images-radiol253531fig5.Soss29aFpV.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Detection and extent of BI-RADS suspicious calcifications (amorphous, coarse heterogeneous, fine pleomorphic, and fine linear or fine linear branching) at axial photon-counting CT (PCCT) versus full-field digital mammography (first three images, craniocaudal view; last image, mediolateral oblique view). Calcifications found on mammography showed only partial visualization at ultrahigh-resolution PCCT (0.2 mm), while amorphous calcifications could not be distinguished from image noise. Corresponding abnormal enhancement was clearly depicted on contrast-enhanced PCCT images.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15833757/bayers-pet-agent-meets-endpoints-in-phase-iii-cardiac-amyloidosis-studyAuntMinnieen2026-08-31T19:41:54.000ZBayer's PET agent meets endpoints in phase III cardiac amyloidosis studyhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/pet-attr.MXY576IQ7G.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70This figure shows fused I-124 evuzamitide positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) images from patients without amyloidosis and from patients with ATTR cardiac amyloidosis, early ATTR cardiac amyloidosis, light chain cardiac amyloidosis, gelsolin-mediated amyloidosis, and systemic organ amyloid. The columns represent radiological transaxial, sagittal, and coronal views except for the last row middle and far right columns, which are coronal projections. The blue asterisks represent physiological activity (tracer activity in the stomach and esophagus). The arrowheads represent pathological uptake. Note the small amount of cardiac uptake in the basal septum and the basal lateral walls (likely early ATTR cardiac amyloidosis), splenic uptake and pleural uptake in light chain amyloidosis, and cardiac and kidney uptake in gelsolin-mediated amyloidosis. The bright yellow color represents more tracer uptake.https://www.auntminnie.com/editors-note/article/15833645/week-in-review-ir-tops-all-medical-specialties-in-compensation-growth-clinical-imaging-faculty-stress-and-satisfaction-former-philips-engineer-found-guiltyAuntMinnieen2026-08-28T21:19:52.000ZWeek in Review: IR tops specialties in compensation growth | Clinical imaging faculty stress and satisfaction | Former Philips engineer found guiltyhttps://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15833655/pet-outperforms-ct-in-ovarian-cancerAuntMinnieen2026-08-28T19:00:00.000ZPET outperforms CT in ovarian cancerhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/fapi-vs-cect.OB7ZumAWI0.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Comparison of contrast-enhanced CT (ceCT) and FAPI-PET in detecting peritoneal carcinomatosis in patient with advanced ovarian carcinoma.
