MRI depicts small lesions, predicts malignancy in lung cancer
By Shalmali Pal
CT plays a major role in lung cancer imaging, with support from molecular imaging, sonography, and angiography. MRI also contributes to a greater understanding of small nodules, particularly with the recent introduction of improved protocols. Two new studies suggest that dynamic MRI and 3-tesla MRI can depict clinically significant small nodules, and also distinguish between benign and malignant lesions. In a related paper, Japanese nuclear medicine specialists looked at the value of MR for assessing cerebral lesions from metastatic lung cancer.

FDG-PET could help unlock secrets of atherosclerotic plaque
By Wayne Forrest
Two studies from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City are shedding light on the role of FDG-PET in analyzing plaques in carotid arteries and the aorta as a precursor to cardiac health. Researchers said the studies are important because as much as 70% of all myocardial infarctions are due to the rupture of nonsclerotic lesions.

Giant virtual reality chamber boosts 3D echo accuracy
By Eric Barnes
Have you ever diagnosed a three-foot-tall 3D heart? Talk about cardiomegaly. Researchers from the Netherlands who survived the experience found they could diagnose valve defects that went unnoticed in a standard 2D exam. At the 2007 Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) meeting in Berlin, Anton Koning, Ph.D., from Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam discussed how 3D visualizes complex pathology of the heart and how image display can be improved with different kinds of VR (virtual reality) systems.

Interest surges in use of imaging for tracking radiation therapy
By Kathlyn Stone
MINNEAPOLIS - How will the imaging community respond to the challenge of quantitative imaging for treatment response? That was the question that multiple speakers set out to answer in a symposium at last week's American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) meeting. MRI, PET, and SPECT are all being thoroughly scrutinized in order to meet the increasing demand for noninvasive imaging biomarkers that can not only customize treatment, but also track treatment response.

Computer-assisted MR guidance improves prostate biopsy
By Eric Barnes
An automated prostate biopsy system based on real-time guidance with high-field MRI earned high scores for accuracy and image quality, according to German researchers. They found that using a transgluteal needle approach to the prostate with the patient prone was accurate and safe when used in combination with the pneumatically driven needle positioning system.
