Breast MRI improves survival rates for at-risk women

Breast MRI's sensitivity is superior to that of mammography in long-term screening for women at risk of breast cancer, according to a new study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. What's more, the study showed that breast MRI improved survival rates by almost 20% when compared to women tracked in earlier research.

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.
