FAPI-PET shows promise for detecting pancreatic cancer
By Will Morton
FAPI-PET imaging may become a powerful diagnostic tool for detecting pancreatic cancer.
November 20, 2023
A male patient with suspected recurrent pancreatic cancer. Contrast-enhanced CT shows mass around superior mesenteric artery after pancreatectomy. F-18 FDG only shows discrete uptake of lesion (SUVmax, 3.8), whereas Ga-68 FAPI clearly visualizes recurrent tumor. Patient received adjuvant chemotherapy after Ga-68 FAPI. Patient denied recommended chemotherapy. Increase of CA19-9 levels (from 240 U/mL to 767 U/mL) and follow-up imaging eight months later validated progression of mesenteric mass as well as increased F-18 FDG uptake (SUVmax, 5.3).

AI detects incidental lung nodules on chest x-rays
By Will Morton
AI based lesion-detection software used in daily practice can help identify clinically significant incidental lung nodules on chest x-rays
November 16, 2023
A true positive case in a 72-year-old male with a granuloma on chest x-ray after visiting the neurology outpatient clinic for memory disturbance. A small lung nodule was detected in the left-middle to lower lung field by AI software, with an abnormality score of 26%. Co-existing fibrosis was suspected in the apex of bilateral upper lungs, with an abnormality score of 76%. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.
