11 steps for preventing MRSA infections in MRI
There is growing concern that patients may contract methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) during MRI scans, based on highly contagious patients being scanned at MRI centers that lack even basic infection control procedures. Dr. Peter A. Rothschild once again shares his outlook on the issues surrounding MRI safety.

Mammo uptake among veterans on par with nonveterans
Female veterans are as likely to undergo screening mammography as nonveteran women.
Patient examples of SPECT/CT and PET/CT RECIP 1.0. (A) SPECT and PET maximum-intensity projection (MIP) images in 74-year-old man with mCRPC. Serum PSA level at baseline was 449 ng/mL and slightly increased to 525 ng/mL after two cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score was 2 at baseline and increased to 3 after 2 cycles. The patient was classified by readers as RECIP-progressive disease on both SPECT and PET. Overall survival was 4.7 months. Two cycles of Lu-177 PSMA were administered. (B) SPECT and PET MIP images in 74-year-old man with mCRPC. Serum PSA level was 231 ng/mL at baseline and decreased to 12.5 ng/mL after 2 cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. ECOG score was less than 2 at baseline and after 2 cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. The patient was classified by readers as RECIP-partial response on both SPECT and PET. Overall survival was 14.3 months. Four cycles of Lu-177 PSMA were administered.

(A–C) Top: High-field-strength (3-T) and low-field-strength (64-mT) images and LowGAN outputs for a single participant across (A) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), (B) T1-weighted (T1w), and (C) T2-weighted (T2w) contrasts. Bottom: Graphs demonstrate the structural similarity index (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), normalized cross-correlation (NCC), and feature similarity index (FSIM) between high field strength and low field strength (64-mT) and high field strength and LowGAN outputs. a.u. = arbitrary units.****p ≤ 0.0001.
