Automated contrast evens attenuation across weight ranges

Dutch researchers are reducing the contrast dose and achieving consistent results in a coronary CT angiography method that tailors the scanning protocol automatically according to patient weight. The technique delivers consistent coronary artery enhancement in multiple weight categories.

Global survey puts renewed emphasis on dose

European hospitals perform nuclear cardiology at lower doses than the rest of the world, and they use more of the best practices that have been identified, according to the results of a global survey published in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.

Automated technique compares lung screening priors

A new technique uses digital subtraction imaging to detect temporal changes in lung cancer screening scans between baseline and follow-up. The method could make screening follow-up easier by quickly identifying new or growing nodules.

CTC excels in matchup with FIT, colonoscopy

In the first randomized trial to pit CT colonography (CTC) against the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and conventional optical colonoscopy, FIT yielded a higher participation rate than CTC but found fewer cancers and advanced lesions, according to results published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Study finds U.S. nuclear cardiology doses are too high

Radiation doses for myocardial perfusion imaging exams in the U.S. are significantly higher than those in the rest of the world. Few U.S. sites adhere to best practices for dose reduction, and the U.S. fee-for-service model also contributes to the disparity, according to articles published online December 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Density mapping predicts interval breast cancers

Dutch researchers are using a breast density mapping software package to predict which density patterns are associated with higher rates of tumors found between mammography screenings. The results may help make supplemental breast cancer screening exams more effective for select patients.

Unfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine specialists have high career satisfaction, but unfilled vacancies and career disparities persist, finds a workforce survey by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).

Dual PET imaging in Case Two illustrates a patient with discordant disease. FDG PET (b & d) shows FDG uptake in tail of pancreas primary lesion (yellow arrow), as well as multiple hepatic metastases (yellow boxes), with enlarged liver span. DOTATATE PET on left (a) shows several hepatic metastases that do not demonstrate DOTATATE uptake above background of liver parenchyma. The liver lesions in (c) demonstrate moderate FDG uptake in liver lesions, with no corresponding DOTATATE avidity (white box) or central photopenia (white arrow). This discordance in dual PET imaging corresponds to a NETPET score of 5. This suggests de-differentiated disease and a less favorable prognosis. The patient was not suitable for Lutate treatment and received chemotherapy.
