Some thoughts on Dr. Phillip Berman and CT lung screening
Radiologist and imaging entrepreneur Dr. Phillip Berman died of lung cancer 10 years ago today -- and 20 years ago this month he founded AuntMinnie.com. In this article, his friend Sheila Ross looks back and wonders what Phil would think about the progress that has -- and hasn't -- been made with CT lung cancer screening.

A 65-y-old man with HCC and liver cirrhosis confirmed by MRI. Ga-68 FAPI-46 PET/CT demonstrates increased focal uptake (SUVmax, 13.26, and TBRmax, 2.89) in liver, whereas F-18 FDG-PET/CT scans showed non–F-18 FDG-avid lesion (SUVmax, 3.24, and TBRmax, 1.43), indicated by solid arrows. Additionally, histologically proven adenocarcinoma in colon transversum was identified as pathologic with Ga-68 FAPI-46 alone (dashed arrows).

How best to characterize CT lung findings after radiation therapy
By Kate Madden Yee
Serial chest CT is cornerstone of post-RT surveillance, but "accurate interpretation is critical to avoid misdiagnosis."

Acute radiation-induced pneumonitis after SBRT (65 Gy, four fractions) in a 53-year-old woman with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus with a left lower lobe metastasis manifesting as a small nodule (not shown). (A) Axial dosimetric reconstruction of a CT image obtained for SBRT planning shows the metastasis receiving the maximal isodose (6500 cGy). (B) Axial CT image obtained 12 months after completion of RT shows focal ground-glass and consolidative opacities confined to the treatment plan (arrow). Note that acute lung injury with SBRT typically manifests later than with conventional RT (i.e., >12 weeks after completion of therapy), and in 25% of patients, the first CT manifestations occur more than one year after completion of RT.
