Trial shows no NSF from gadolinium, even in dialysis patients
VIENNA - Even dialysis patients can safely undergo contrast-enhanced MRI without the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) if a few safety guidelines are followed, according to the final results of the multicenter Pro-FINEST study presented on Sunday at the European Congress of Radiology.

Heavy calcium won't harm CCTA accuracy in advanced scanners
VIENNA - There's no reason to limit the use of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in patients with high calcium scores -- as long as the scanner is 64-detector-rows or higher, according to a new meta-analysis of 27 studies presented on Friday at the European Congress of Radiology.

Heart failure, ischemia, tied to gray-matter loss at MRI
Heart failure is associated with gray-matter loss at MRI and a worsening of both memory and psychomotor skills. To a lesser extent, the presence of ischemic heart disease slows recall as well, according to a new study in the European Heart Journal.

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.
