Study links frequent dental x-rays with brain tumors
People who have received frequent dental x-rays have an increased risk of developing meningioma, according to a case-control study examining the correlation between dental x-rays and meningioma. The findings support the need for practitioners to exercise their best professional judgment when determining whether an imaging study is a diagnostic necessity.

Integrating PACS and MDCT: 10,000 slices and growing
What's the key to getting your PACS to work efficiently in today's advanced visualization environment? Dr. Paul J. Chang of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine recently discussed the challenges in managing the ever-increasing number of images from modalities such as MDCT, including building archival models and integrating advanced visualization tools.

3D technologists: You’ve trained them -- now retain them
It is no secret that radiologic technologists (RT) -- especially those trained in 3D imaging -- are at a premium. With little-to-no formal 3D education available, finding and keeping qualified techs is not only a competitive endeavor but a costly one as well, given that the facilities that hire these RTs are also expected to provide and pay for their training.

Radiologists call on PACS vendors to improve 3D imaging integration
As digital imaging technologies improve, does it make more sense to remain wedded to dedicated postprocessing workstations or to go with an integrated PACS solution? Jeffrey Mendel, chair of radiology at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, recently shared his views on this topic and discussed how to choose between separate workstations and PACS integration for advanced processing functions.

PET/CT moves closer to diagnostic standard of care
With its roots now firmly planted in oncology, PET/CT has become a well-established diagnostic tool for cancer assessment, staging, and restaging. The combination of functional PET data with anatomical CT data has been shown time and again to provide more accurate and specific diagnoses than individual modalities alone, with the added bonus of sometimes detecting previously unknown tumors or conditions.

Study finds link between RT retake rates and image quality
Sometimes it takes a little extra time to get the job done right. That seems to be the message from a new study analyzing the relationship between digital radiography (DR) retake rates and image quality -- researchers found that the radiologic technologists with the highest retake rates also produced the best images.

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).
