Politics blocks widespread use of breast MRI for implants
VIENNA - In the region served by the Ribera public hospital, around 10,000 women have received defective Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) implants, a population that would quickly overwhelm the radiology service if MRI examinations were authorized, according to Dr. Julia Camps Herrero, head of radiology at the center in Alzira, Valencia, Spain.

3T MRI opens new avenues for breast cancer diagnosis
VIENNA - It's early days, but the power of high-field imaging is going to push the limits of what radiologists believe is possible in breast MRI, noted Dr. Thomas Helbich, vice chair of radiology at the Medical University of Vienna, in a pre-European Congress of Radiology meeting.

Regional networks deconstruct PACS in France
NANCY, FRANCE - "Take archiving and communications out of PACS, and what is left?" asked Frédéric Lefevre, of the University of Nancy, in a session at the Volumetric Scanner Symposium on whether France can ramp up its effort to build a national network for sharing medical images.

Dose reduction trumps horsepower at French CT symposium
NANCY, FRANCE - The word of the day was "dosimétrie," or the measure of radiation dose, at this week's annual Volumetric Scanner Symposium in France. The new focus on dose control represents a sharp shift from previous meetings, which were dominated by discussions of growing CT scanner horsepower.

French radiology faces crisis due to lack of scanners
PARIS - Despite good patient outcomes, France has a critical lack of imaging technology that must be addressed if the nation is to maintain the same level of healthcare quality available in other European countries, according to the opening press conference of the Journées Françaises de Radiologie (JFR) meeting.

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).
