CO2 volumes higher than previous reports in VC

Using more CO2 to insufflate the colon during virtual colonoscopy doesn't produce better distention, but patients with ileocecal valve incompetence -- most patients presenting for screening -- require more insufflation, say researchers from Ireland.

CAD eases MRI-based herniated disk diagnosis

GENEVA - Herniated lumbar disks aren't the most common back injury, but when they occur they often require surgery. And diagnosis requires tedious manual measurements -- or at least it did until researchers from London found a way to automate the process.

CT speeds antiangiogenesis therapy assessment

CT perfusion imaging can spot significant changes in blood flow and volume soon after administration of antiangiogenic therapy, researchers from Munich, Germany, report in a new animal study. Faster assessment can lead to nimbler, more flexible cancer care compared to traditional tumor size measurements.

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.
