For the person who has everything, whole-body CT makes inroads

Healthy adults are flocking to boutique clinics for full-body CT scans, hoping to detect medical problems before symptoms appear. In the medical imaging community, detractors say the so-called "yuppie scans" are a waste of money, create a false sense of security, and lead to unnecessary tests and procedures.

Researchers question use of imaging for low back pain

Nearly two-thirds of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lives -- it's the second most common reason people visit their physicians. Some say, however, that doctors and radiologists aren't the best sources to call for low back pain diagnoses.

Ultrasound nonmass breast lesion features may signal malignancy

By Amerigo Allegretto

Some nonmass breast lesion characteristics on ultrasound exams can be considered suspicious for malignancy at screening ultrasound.

November 5, 2024

Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a malignant non-mass lesion that was diagnosed as microinvasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Transverse and (B) longitudinal ultrasound images show a hypoechoic non-mass lesion (solid arrows) with segmental distribution in the left breast. The lesion has associated calcifications (dashed arrows in A). (C) Longitudinal color Doppler ultrasound image shows high vascularity. (D) Magnified image in the mediolateral oblique view from screening mammography shows grouped calcifications (arrows), which are considered a mammographic correlate of the ultrasound-detected non-mass lesion (A radiopaque marker attached to the skin is visible in the image because the mammographic exam was performed after screening breast ultrasound). Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and pathologic examination revealed ductal carcinoma in situ, but the lesion was upgraded to microinvasive ductal carcinoma at subsequent surgery (2.5-cm ductal carcinoma in situ, histologic grade II, estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-negative).
