PSMA-PET/CT identifies 'atypical' metastases in prostate cancer patients
By Will Morton
PET/CT scans with an experimental PSMA imaging agent can identify supraclavicular nodal metastasis in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients.
March 21, 2025
F-18 PSMA-1007 PET/CT of a 70 year old with newly diagnosed prostate cancer: PSA 770 ng/ml; Gleason 5 + 5; International Society of Urological Pathology grade 5. The maximum intensity projection images, CT, and fused images show PSMA ligand-avid prostate primary with pelvic, retroperitoneal, and mediastinal nodal spread. Additionally, he had left supraclavicular nodal metastasis (arrows).

Do radiologists trust mammography AI software?
By Erik L. Ridley
A large-scale prospective trial exploring the use of mammography AI software in a breast cancer screening program has found that recalls were lower when cases were flagged by AI.
March 18, 2025
Full-field digital screening mammograms in participants recalled by the consensus discussion after being flagged by artificial intelligence (AI) computer-aided detection (CAD) but not by either of the two radiologists. (A) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 73 for a 55-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 3 in situ cancer and T1 (9-mm) invasive cancer in the left breast and lymph node metastasis. (B) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 54 for a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 2 in situ cancer and T1 (6-mm) invasive cancer in the right breast and without lymph node metastasis.
