Liquid biopsy can be game-changer in radiology
Biomarkers, in combination with liquid biopsy and pathology, can help to optimize cancer detection and characterization in the years ahead, and they now form an integral part of a diagnostic approach that aims to integrate diverse data from imaging, pathology, and liquid biopsy/laboratory medicine, experts noted in this morning's New Horizons session at ECR 2019 in Vienna.

Musculoskeletal speakers reveal trade secrets on sports injuries
To achieve success and consistently good results in sports imaging, you must be descriptive in the radiology report, know what pitfalls to avoid, and find out what is important to the surgeon. That's the view of Dr. Theodore Miller, from Weill Cornell Medicine of Cornell University in New York City and a speaker at today's transatlantic master class on sports injuries.

Success in sports injuries relies on defining technical and clinical approach
Sports injuries pose unique challenges that set them apart in the world of radiology, particularly when highly driven patients are keen to return to their discipline. Against this demanding backdrop, sports radiologists have to draw on their knowledge, experience, and colleagues from other specialties to correctly define the nature of the injury and expedite swift and effective therapy.

CT provides fresh revelations about ancient Egypt
CT has reached a level of such sophistication that we can now pinpoint incredible detail inside mummies, turning CT into 3D volumes and then segmenting the data, a leading expert told attendees at last week's "The Curious World of Radiology" seminar.

The big question: CT, MRI, or nuclear for coronary artery disease diagnosis?
Faced with a choice of CT, MRI, and hybrid nuclear imaging for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, which modality is most suitable for any one patient type and why? All three play an important role in the diagnostic process, according to speakers at a presentation on Saturday at ECR 2015.

How best to avoid pitfalls in sports injuries to knee
Take a closer look at the meniscus when imaging and avoid over- or undercalling common meniscus pathologies, according to Dr. Gustav Andreisek of Zurich. In particular, certain portions of the meniscus, such as the roots, are usually missed during reporting, he explained in a refresher course at ECR 2015 in Vienna.

Two cases of pathologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas in 68-year-old male patients. In both cases (A-H, case 1; I-P, case 2), CT scans (B, F, case 1; J, N, case 2) revealed intrahepatic bile duct dilation and suspected nodular lesions. While F-18 FDG PET/CT (A, C, D, case 1; I, K, L, case 2) failed to demonstrate abnormal tracer uptake (SUVmax 3.5, TBR 1.3 in Case 1; SUVmax 2.6, TBR 1.2 in Case 2), F-18 FAPI-04 PET/CT (E, G, H, case 1; M, O, P, case 2 ) showed positive uptake in the nodular lesions (SUVmax 9.7, TBR 3.5 in Case 1; SUVmax 9.6, TBR 3.3 in Case 2).

The number of all visible structures was fewer at an ambient light of 500 lux compared to both 25 and 75 lux. In addition, structure visibility was better with a gray wall color at all ambient light levels. Paired comparison between monitors showed better structure visibility on the high specification monitor for all condition.
