Proton therapy: Is randomization needed?

Are randomized clinical trials appropriate for demonstrating proton therapy's superiority to x-ray therapy? The European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology meeting, held last month in London, was the venue of a contentious debate on this subject.

Image correction enables MR-guided therapy

MRI is an excellent candidate for providing image guidance during radiation therapy, but magnetic field inhomogeneities arising from patient anatomy can lead to image distortion. A research team at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands has developed a method for correcting such distortions.

International team pinpoints causes of missed breast cancers

By Maryam Payne

The key factors that contribute to diagnostic errors in mammography have come under close scrutiny. The authors present a series of insightful clinical cases.

(a) Mediolateral oblique and craniocaudal screening mammograms in a 52-year-old woman demonstrated an isodense focal asymmetry in the lower inner right breast, projected over the retromammary fat (red arrows). This finding was not reported by the first reader, likely due to its location at the periphery of the image, and was reported by the second reader. Assessment with ultrasound (not shown) was unremarkable. (b) Breast MRI was subsequently performed, and the axial maximum intensity projection image revealed an irregular enhancing mass in the lower right breast, corresponding to the mammographic asymmetry (yellow arrows). Axial image obtained during MRI-guided biopsy, which revealed histopathology of grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma.

The intractable problem of the low incidence scan

By Dr. Paul McCoubrie

Faced with a low-incidence but serious condition, clinicians and radiologists must discuss the case and experienced doctors should assess the patient before a scan, says Dr. Paul McCoubrie.
