Unseen side of imaging: Compassion fatigue, moral injury, and PTSD
The endurance of the human body, mind, and spirit is amazing. It's what allows us to continue to perform our roles and responsibilities, to a point -- but we all have a breaking point. Stefanie Manack and Judy Zakutny of 3DR Labs explain how this is affecting radiologic technologists.

Survey shows support for routine pathology review in IR
Brain MRI and F-18 FDG brain and whole-body PET/CT images. (A) No obvious abnormalities were found in axial and sagittal slices from T2-weighted MR images. (B) Whole cerebellar cortex had diffuse F-18 FDG hypermetabolism in PET/CT brain images, with SUVmax of 25.91. (C and D) Whole-body F-18 FDG-PET/CT showing distended bladder. TLG = total lesion glycolysis; MTV = metabolic tumor volume. Image and caption courtesy of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

PET/CT visualizes extremely rare brain inflammation
Representative examples of visual TAC categories, assessed on chest CT in asymptomatic individuals undergoing general health screening (blue indicates segmented TAC at level of aortic arch). Axial (A) and sagittal volume-rendered (B) images in 42-year-old patient. AI-based quantification yielded TAC volume of 101 mm3 and TAC Agatston score of 105. Examination was assessed as showing visually mild TAC. Axial (C) and sagittal volume-rendered (D) images in 57-year-old patient. AI-based quantification yielded TAC volume of 834 mm3 and TAC Agatston score of 993. Examination was assessed as showing visually moderate TAC. Axial (E) and sagittal volume-rendered (F) images in 65-year-old patient. AI-based quantification yielded TAC volume of 4872 mm3 and TAC Agatston score of 5848. Examination was assessed as showing visually severe TAC. Images and caption courtesy of the AJR.

Nociceptive responses to contrast CT aren't necessarily pathology
By Kate Madden Yee
Nociceptive responses to contrast CT imaging such as intense warmth, urinary urgency, a metallic taste, dry mouth, and mild discomfort or pain aren't necessarily indicators of adverse contrast reactions.

AAPM: CMS measure for reporting CT radiation dose riddled with 'ambiguities'
