Did mummified 'screaming woman' die from a heart attack?
A new CT study of the 3,000-year-old "mummy of the screaming woman" in Egypt has investigated whether the shocking facial expression of pain was due to the heart attack that might have caused the woman's death or due to postmortem changes. The group's analysis has already generated considerable debate.

Fat-fluid levels sign: T1- and T2-weighted MRI shows cyst with thin septa, heterogeneous content, and fat-fluid levels, which is compatible with fat content, suggestive of galactocele. A cystic mass with a fat-fluid level is a diagnostic indicator of a galactocele, with the fat content above and the water content remaining at the bottom.
PET/CT shows impact of different COVID-19 vaccines
By Will Morton
The type of COVID-19 vaccine and the time interval between vaccination and PET/CT scans are key factors in minimizing false interpretations in cancer patients.
December 18, 2023
A 73-year-old woman with a suspicious lung nodule was referred to our division for F-18 FDG PET/CT exam. She was vaccinated four days before PET/CT. The lung nodule did not show any pathological FDG uptake; however, high tracer activity was detected on her right arm, where she was injected, and multiple hypermetabolic lymph nodes in the right axilla (arrows). Moreover, PET/CT showed high tracer activity in the liver (black arrows), spleen (triangular arrows), and bone marrow (small triangular arrows) as the result of systemic immune response after vaccination. The tracer defect in the liver was due to the known cyst. (A) fusion scan, (B) PET, (C) maximum intensity projection. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.
