BJR: PET/MRI continues to prove its mettle

Simultaneous PET/MRI has the potential to improve patient care, reduce hospital visits, and provide new and more accurate markers for disease assessment, according to an article published in the British Journal of Radiology. Early proof-of-concept studies show the clinical performance of PET/MRI is on par with PET/CT.

Self-tested QA could become routine for Dutch breast imagers

Everyone agrees on the importance of quality assurance (QA), especially in breast screening. But formal audits are time-consuming and infrequent, and often don't address individual performance. A group of Dutch researchers has addressed the issue with a self-test specifically designed to let breast imagers know how they are doing.

Study: Breast cancer false positives can turn malignant

A large number of in situ malignancies and calcification patterns were found among women who had prior false positives on mammography screening in a new study from Barcelona. The findings suggest the false positives may have progressed to cancer and reinforces the importance of encouraging women with false-positive results to undergo regular screening.
