Discuss Machine learning can generate realistic breast phantoms
December 17, 2018 -- Dutch and Italian researchers have used machine-learning algorithms to generate "superresolution" digital breast phantoms. They are now working to develop dynamic contrast-enhanced dedicated breast CT, which may prove useful for many stages of breast cancer care.

Discuss U.K. review finds only 5K women missed breast screening
December 14, 2018 -- An independent review of the recent U.K. breast screening debacle has found that only 5,000 women actually missed invitations to screening appointments, down sharply from the 450,000 originally estimated. The review panel also noted that U.K. public health authorities initially overstated the magnitude of the problem, causing unnecessary anxiety among women.

Discuss U.K. regulator recommends prostate MRI before biopsy
December 14, 2018 -- The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the U.K. has supported the use of multiparametric MRI as a frontline tool in English hospitals to scan for prostate cancer, but the Royal College of Radiologists has already expressed concerns over the shortage of equipment to cope with the additional examinations.

Discuss Imaging reveals subtle brain alterations in gaming addiction
December 14, 2018 -- New research involving the use of functional MRI has shown that internet gaming disorder is associated with gender-specific changes in the brain. Men have alterations in brain regions that affect impulse control, while women do not, according to a presentation at the RSNA 2018 meeting in Chicago.

Discuss TOF PET/MRI reduces dose for breast cancer detection
December 12, 2018 -- Clinicians can use as little as 10% of the conventional FDG dose and still produce diagnostic-quality images to detect breast cancer using a time-of-flight (TOF) imaging technique with PET/MRI, according to a study published in the December issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
