Proportion of respondents reporting at least one open vacancy for any role in their department. Countries receiving fewer than five responses are marked with diagonal stripes and excluded from numerical reporting due to insufficient sample size for reliable estimates.

Unfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine specialists have high career satisfaction, but unfilled vacancies and career disparities persist, find 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.

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.

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).
