Radiology Test Non-Invasively Diagnoses Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated AKI

MedImaging Nuclear Medicine

A study exploring the use of a nuclear imaging technique to identify immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury without invasive biopsies, has shown that such patients exhibit significantly higher levels of radioactively labeled glucose in the kidneys compared to those with AKI from other causes.

Quantitative ultrasound parameters offer new tool for diagnosing lung disease

Medical Xpress: Radiology

The researchers also demonstrated that the parameters can be used to accurately diagnose and assess the severity of lung diseases in an animal model. Researchers have established a suite of parameters that can be determined using ultrasound to quantitatively measure different physical characteristics of the lung.

F-18 FAPI PET/CT upstages more newly-diagnosed breast cancers

AuntMinnie

F-18 fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT leads to significant upstaging in newly diagnosed breast cancer, according to research published September 5 in Academic Radiology. The team put F-18 FAPI PET/CT to the test, comparing results to those of F-18 FDG PET/CT in systemic staging of newly diagnosed breast cancer.

Is Contrast-Enhanced Mammography a Viable Option for Diagnosing Invasive Lobular Carcinoma?

Diagnostic Imaging

Contrast-enhanced mammography had a 98 percent sensitivity rate for diagnosing invasive lobular carcinoma and provided high conspicuity for 82 percent of detected lesions, according to research presented at the recent Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.

Microflow imaging useful in diagnosing breast lesions

AuntMinnie

Microflow imaging can differentiate between benign and malignant breast lesions, suggest findings published October 28 in Clinical Radiology. Microflow imaging and high-definition microflow imaging can detect more blood flow in breast lesions than color Doppler flow imaging…,” Luo and co-authors wrote.
