3D imaging helps diagnose 1.7-million-year-old cancer

Cancer is often thought to be a product of modern times and lifestyles, but researchers have discovered what they believe is the earliest case of malignancy -- in a fossil from an early human ancestor who lived about 1.7 million years ago. The key to diagnosing this ancient cancer was advanced 3D imaging technology.

CT of mastodon helps rewrite North American prehistory

Danish and U.S. researchers have discovered new evidence regarding the first humans and hunters in prehistoric North America, thanks to CT scans of the remains of a mastodon. The first-known hunters on the continent can now be dated back nearly 14,000 years, according to a recent study in the journal Science.

Cold case closed: CT solves iceman's cause of death

You could say it's the oldest open "cold case" to date -- the death of the famous Alpine glacier iceman. Since he was discovered in 1991, his 5,300-year-old mummified remains have been subjected to numerous scientific tests, and theories have abounded as to how he died. Recently, however, a team of Italian and Swiss researchers determined the iceman's exact cause of death using multidetector-row CT (MDCT).

Audit puts spotlight on breast density in women under 50

A 12-year audit conducted at a women’s imaging facility has provided new data on the link between mammographic breast density and cancer detection in younger patients.

February 5, 2026

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).
