Tomosynthesis provides boost in painful prosthetic cases
French researchers have revealed that digital tomosynthesis has a similar diagnostic performance to x-ray for diagnosing prosthetic loosening after total hip arthroplasty, but it yields better interobserver agreement. They compared the performance of tomosynthesis with that of x-ray and also CT with metal artifact reduction.

Nikolaou: AI for complex cases may be over 10 years off
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to create more imaging opportunities and boost demand for specialists, but multimodality, multiparametric, or complex MRI diagnoses using AI are probably at least a decade away, according to Dr. Konstantin Nikolaou from Tübingen, Germany.

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.
