SIR study eyes whether radiation causes cataracts
Are interventional radiologists more prone to cataracts due to medical radiation? The question was investigated at last week's Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) conference by an eye specialist who spent the meeting peering into the eyes of attendees, looking for early signs of eye disease.

Robotic prostate brachytherapy technique avoids penile damage
Using real-time imaging and robotics to abandon fixed needle templates for prostate brachytherapy may be the best way to avoid penile bulb trauma during prostate cancer treatment, a researcher reported at the American Brachytherapy Society annual meeting in April in San Diego.

MRI
MRI, CT both have strengths for brachytherapy guidance
Which modality should be used to guide brachytherapy treatments, MRI or CT? Both have strengths and weaknesses, but either is superior to traditional 2D x-ray guidance, which is still used in nearly half of U.S. cancer treatment centers.

Good prep is key to effective virtual colonoscopy
Good bowel preparation and distention are the two most important steps toward a highly effective virtual colonoscopy exam, according to University of Wisconsin VC providers Dr. Perry Pickhardt and Dr. Louis Hinshaw.

VC should target rare growths rather than all polyps
Virtual colonoscopy is a paradigm shift from traditional optical colonoscopy, and it needs to be used in a way that targets rare cancer-causing polyps, rather than each and every growth in the colon, according to David Kim, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin.

VC CAD still lags in flat-polyp detection
Computer-aided detection (CAD) for virtual colonoscopy, while good at detecting rounded lesions that can signal the presence of colorectal cancer, is less adept at finding flat lesions or achieving high sensitivity in the hands of less experienced readers, according to a study presented at the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists symposium.

Virtual colonoscopy payments climb slowly
These days, virtual colonoscopy is more likely than ever to be reimbursed. But insurers are still more likely to pay for the procedure as a diagnostic tool after failed optical colonoscopy, or for examining frail and at-risk patients, than for screening asymptomatic adults, according to Dr. Abraham Dachman.

Hard-copy prints help orthopods adjust to digital imaging
Orthopedic surgeons are usually the last holdout -- and often a bony obstacle -- to shuttering radiology darkrooms and going digital. But Philadelphia radiologists have found a simple answer to winning their cooperation and getting some impressive results in terms of lower costs and quicker readings.

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).
