PET/CT imaging using gallium-68 (Ga-68) Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) radiotracer over F-18 FDG appears promising in women with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), according to a study published March 14 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. In an analysis of women diagnosed with ILC who underwent both imaging approaches, Ga-68 FAPI showed higher activity in tumors than F-18 FDG and identified more metastatic lesions, noted nuclear medicine physician and lead author Ertan Sahin, MD,

Detecting breast arterial calcifications on routine mammograms could identify women at a higher risk of future cardiovascular disease (CVD), a study published March 13 in Clinical Imaging found. Researchers led by Shadi Azam, PhD, from Weill Cornell Medicine in New York found links between such calcifications and older age, diabetes, parity, younger age at first birth, and hypertension in women who underwent both screening mammography and cardiac CT angiography (CCTA).
