CT effective for tracking colon cancer lymph node distribution
Using CT to track lymph node distribution in colon cancer patients is more effective at identifying metastasis than conventional testing.

Schematic diagrams and representative images of different distribution patterns of region lymph nodes detected at CT. (A) Vascular distribution pattern: All regional lymph nodes detected at CT have regular borders and are distributed along the vessels (arrowheads). (B-E) Coronal CT images in a (B) 34-year-old woman, (C) 51-year-old man, (D) 37-year-old man, and (E) 40-year-old man with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) colon cancer show multiple clear lymph nodes distributed along the supplying arteries or draining veins (arrowheads). (F) Jammed cluster pattern: At least three lymph nodes with blurred margins and clustered (circle). (G-I) Coronal CT images in a (G) 29-year-old man, (H) 35-year-old man, and (I) 67-year-old man and (J) axial CT image in a 43-year-old man with MSI-H colon cancer show several lymph nodes with blurred margins and clustered (circle). Movies 1-4 provide more details. (K) Fused pattern: Several poorly defined lymph nodes clustered and fused together (arrow). (L-O) Coronal CT images in a (L) 63-year-old woman, (M) 59-year-old man, (N) 49-year-old woman, and (O) 73-year-old man with MSI-H colon cancers show several lymph nodes fused (arrow).

In 2021, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) expanded the pool of people eligible for lung cancer screening (LCS) via low-dose CT. But uptake of the test remains low: In 2022, only 18% of those eligible underwent the exam.

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.

Could AI scoring help with managing DCIS?
Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.
