Imaging exams land on list of low-value care in VA system
Two of the most frequently delivered low-value medical services within the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VA) system are back imaging for patients with nonspecific low back pain and preoperative chest x-rays, a new study finds. In addition, imaging for low back pain was one of the costliest low-value services.

PET shows amyloid beta + tau biomarkers = Alzheimer's disease
Using PET to assess amyloid beta and tau biomarkers, researchers have found in a July 30 JAMA Neurology study that even in individuals without cognitive impairment, these biomarkers are associated with near-term progression to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and long-term cognitive decline.

How to create a positive work culture in radiology
When you go to work, how do you feel? The answer may have more to do with the culture at your organization than with your job itself. And if your organizational culture is a dour one, that can be changed, according to experts on leadership in radiology.

More white-matter hyperintensity equals greater parkinsonism risk
Higher white-matter hyperintensity visible on MRI scans in older adults is associated with more rapid progressive parkinsonism, according to research released on November 1. That association remained statistically significant despite partial attenuation in a model including postmortem indices of cerebrovascular disease brain pathologies.

Careful planning can optimize spectral CT in radiology
Spectral CT has much to offer radiology. Also known as dual-energy CT, the technology gives radiologists the ability to more easily differentiate healthy from diseased tissue. And through careful planning, imaging facilities optimize their use of spectral CT to the benefit of patients and referring physicians.

Could cranial ultrasound sub for brain MRI in imaging infants?
Cranial ultrasound could have utility for imaging infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
Lateral conventional attenuation (a, b, e, f) and co-registered dark-field (c, d, g, h) images of two spine specimens. Vertical (a, c, e, g) and horizontal (b, d, f, h) scans of the spine specimen of a 77-year-old female with osteoporosis (bone mineral density = 65.75 mg/dL) (a–d) and a non-osteoporotic spine specimen (e–h) of a 61-year-old female (bone mineral density = 169.38 mg/dL).

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).
