Dual-tracer PET/CT shows promise in liver cancer patients

AuntMinnie

A group led by researchers at the University of Hong Kong in China found the approach detected 12% more disease in patients undergoing staging than CT or MRI and resulted in a change in treatment in a significant number of cases. Patients underwent conventional imaging for a median of 26 days prior to dual-tracer PET/CT.

Advantages of Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Evaluation of Subchondral Insufficiency Fractures of the Knee Compared to MRI

CurveBeam AI

Key Points: Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is superior in assessing bony structures compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) In this study, there was a 40% rate of discrepancy when grading knee subchondral insufficiency fractures on CBCT vs. MRI, with MRI frequently underestimating damage of the subchondral bone plate while overestimating lesion size.

ISMRM: Is low-field MRI coming of age for lung imaging?

AuntMinnie

Low-field MRI can now detect many pathologies in the lungs that previous generations of MRI scanners failed to do, but there is still significant room for improvement once radiologists become more proficient at interpreting pulmonary 0.55-tesla 0.55T lung MRI protocol.
