Study argues against colorectal polyp surveillance

French researchers are recommending against polyp surveillance for small colorectal lesions 6 to 9 mm in diameter, according to a new study in the August issue of Digestive and Liver Disease. The relatively high prevalence of advanced dysplasia in 6- to 9-mm lesions at colonoscopy renders the practice inadvisable, they said.

Stem cell regeneration of heart tissue methods await refining

An original paper in European Radiology scans the many promising developments in stem cell regeneration of cardiac tissue following myocardial infarction. Researchers from the Netherlands find there is no "best method" in cell tracking but rather an array of techniques.

What MRI can (and can't yet) do for cardiac imaging

MRI opens a window into heart disease that is more specialized and more powerful than other imaging methods. Still, many of MRI's best diagnostic tools remain clumsy and time-consuming, its images burdened by artifacts, and its results unproven, said a presenter at an MRI symposium in Berlin.

CARS: Flawed methodology invalidates many breast CAD studies

BERLIN - For decades researchers have been evaluating computer-aided detection (CAD) software to see if it can find more breast cancers. But most of these studies are invalid, charged a U.S. researcher in a presentation at the 2011 Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) congress.

Unfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicine

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.
