ISMRM: PET/MRI shows promise identifying musculoskeletal ‘pain generators’

PET/MRI could be a viable tool for pinpointing locations of pain in those with chronic low back or hip pain after total hip replacements.

May 9, 2024

A 47-year-old female patient with chronic pain in the left lower back/buttock with unknown cause. PET demonstrated focally increased FDG uptake at the left facet L3-4 l. MRI shows minimal fluid, but no edema. Follow-up PET-MRI after six months shows a similar pattern. The patient is on the waiting list for targeted facet joint infiltration (typically not covered by insurance in the Netherlands).

PET/MRI displays promise in patients with late-life depression

PET/MRI scans have revealed positive findings for patients with late-life depression – namely that they have preserved “synaptic density,” and thus are likely to respond to treatment, Belgian researchers have reported.

GE highlights new CT, molecular imaging scanners at ECR 2026

Development of CAD in a 43-year-old male smoker, with atypical chest pain, hypercholesterolemia, and a family history of CAD. At baseline, the coronary artery calcium score was zero (A), and the coronary CT angiogram was normal (B). Noncontrast CT chest (C) 10 years later showed calcified plaques in the right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery.

Audit puts spotlight on breast density in women under 50

A 12-year audit conducted at a women’s imaging facility has provided new data on the link between mammographic breast density and cancer detection in younger patients.

February 5, 2026

Right breast, 10 o’clock position, same patient: A 15 mm irregular hypoechoic solid lesion with suspicious morphology, situated approximately 6 mm from the index lesion. Biopsy confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma, Grade 2, ER positive, PR positive, HER2 positive, concordant with ultrasound features. Findings are in keeping with multifocal invasive ductal carcinoma in a heterogeneously dense breast. The patient was referred for surgical management.

Italian team seeks to optimize imaging of pelvic floor dysfunction

By Maryam Payne

MRI defecography can provide more complete information and limit challenges that make pelvic floor dysfunction difficult to diagnose, researchers from Palermo have found.

February 4, 2026

Sagittal T2-weighted MRD image at maximal pelvic floor contraction (squeeze). The pubococcygeal line (PCL) serves as a reference line extending from the inferior border of the pubic symphysis to the last coccygeal joint. The H line represents the anteroposterior dimension of the levator hiatus, while the M line measures the perpendicular descent of the levator plate relative to the PCL. The midpubic line (MPL) provides an additional reference for anterior-posterior alignment. Identifiable pelvic structures include the pubic symphysis (Ps), rectum (R), and bladder (B).
