Multipurpose CT lung cancer screening more cost-effective
CT lung cancer screening is likely to be more cost-effective if it is used to identify other tobacco-related conditions in high-risk people, according to a study published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.

Subsolid lung nodule assessment with CT evolves
As their experience with subsolid nodules at CT grows, radiologists are learning more about their characteristics and potential risk of malignancy. Overall, the past several years have seen nodule size and growth rise in importance relative to CT density, a less reliable predictor of malignancy.

Holography beckons as alternative to 3D printing
For all its proven value, 3D printing is just one of many ways to look at 3D data -- and it's a rather rigid one at that. For clinicians, understanding a patient's medical condition may require more than a printed skull or aneurysm. In these cases, a holographic dataset can be helpful.

ISCT: The long road to full automation in abdominal CT
SAN FRANCISCO - The past few years have seen rapid progress toward the goal of automated abdominal CT analysis using multiple computer-aided-detection systems, all theoretically applied to a single abdominal CT angiography dataset, according to a Tuesday presentation at the International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) symposium.

ISCT: Ultrahigh-resolution CT raises the bar
SAN FRANCISCO - Exquisitely detailed ultrahigh-resolution CT is on its way thanks to several technologies, although most haven't reached the market yet, according to a talk on Monday at the International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) meeting.

ISCT: Value of CT depends on who's looking
SAN FRANCISCO - Gauging the value of a CT scan is the single most critical reason for deciding whether to perform an exam. But when you get down to it, value depends on what you're looking for and who's looking at it, according to talks on Sunday at the International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) annual meeting.

CT detects frailty and predicts survival in elderly
CT scans are going beyond identifying broken bones to detecting skeletal frailty in the elderly, and even predicting their ability to survive a fall, according to a study in the June edition of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

3D-printed mouse ovaries yield healthy offspring
The promise of 3D-printed functional organs took a big step forward with the recent implantation of 3D-printed ovaries in mice. The bioprosthetic ovaries enabled the animals to ovulate and give birth to healthy pups, according to a study published online May 16 in Nature Communications. The mothers were even able to nurse their young.

New theranostics PET tracer shows promise
By Will Morton
A new gallium-68 (Ga-68) PET/CT radiotracer appears superior over F-18 FDG for detecting bone metastases.
April 17, 2025
Images of a 69-year-old man diagnosed with prostate cancer who had a history of endocrine therapy for two years. (a) The maximum intensity projection (MIP) image of F-18 FDG showed moderate radiotracer uptake in a thoracic vertebra. (e) The MIP image of Ga-68 DOTA-IBA demonstrated more lesions in the cervical vertebra and pelvis. (b) An osteoblastic lesion in the C3 vertebra right attachment (curved arrows) was negative on F-18 FDG (SUVmax = 2.0) and positive on Ga-68 DOTA-IBA (SUVmax = 8.7). (c) Another osteoblastic lesion in the T10 vertebra left side (arrowheads) was both positive on F-18 FDG (SUVmax = 5.2) and positive on Ga-68 DOTA-IBA (SUVmax = 35.0). (d) Osteoblastic lesions in bilateral ilium (dotted arrows and arrows) were negative on F-18 FDG (left: SUVmax = 1.4, right: SUVmax = 1.6) and positive on Ga-68 DOTA-IBA (left: SUVmax = 7.6, right: SUVmax = 8.7). Follow-up imaging three months later confirmed the presence of these bone metastases.

Ultrasound AC measures help detect liver steatosis
By Amerigo Allegretto
Attenuation coefficient (AC) measurements from ultrasound can help better detect hepatic steatosis and address interoperator agreement.
April 16, 2025
Ultrasound images depict a 56-year-old man with obesity (body mass index, 42) and steatosis (MRI-PDFF, 10.4%), who underwent ultrasound attenuation coefficient (AC) measurement due to participation in the present study. The unit displays color-coded confidence map (left) and AC map (on right) in side-by-side manner. The confidence map indicates quality of acquired AC signals and is set like traffic lights: green indicates good quality acquisition, yellow indicates warning, and red indicates low quality. Areas with low quality are left blank on the AC map. The image shows multiple circular ROIs placed at depths below the liver capsule of 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 cm. All ROIs are 3.5 cm in size. The confidence map threshold is set at 20%. AC measurements (in units of dB/cm/MHz) were extracted from all ROIs (excluding voxels without assigned color on the AC map) and decrease with greater ROI depth.
