22. 18F-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy- D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography Scanning Affects Surgical Management in Selected Patients With High-Risk, Operable Breast Carcinoma.

Abstract

The role of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in determining the extent of disease in patients with breast cancer has not been defined. We investigated the utility of 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy- D-glucose (FDG)-PET scanning compared with conventional imaging with computed tomographic scanning and bone scanning in determining the extent of disease in patients with high-risk, operable breast cancer. This was a prospective study of patients who presented to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for operative treatment of breast cancer. Eighty eligible patients were enrolled and underwent computed tomographic chest, abdomen, pelvis, and bone scans, followed by FDG-PET. Changes in treatment based on scan findings were recorded by the operating surgeons. Imaging findings were verified by biopsy or long-term follow-up. Eight (10%) of 80 patients were found to have metastatic disease that was seen on both conventional imaging and PET. Four additional patients (5%) had additional foci of disease on PET that affected treatment decisions. No patient had findings on conventional imaging alone. Conventional imaging studies resulted in a higher number of findings that generated additional tests and biopsies that ultimately had negative results (17% vs. 5% for PET). There was a statistically significant difference in specificity for PET compared with conventional imaging ( P = .01). Conventional imaging and PET were equally sensitive in detecting metastatic disease in patients with high-risk, operable breast cancer, but PET generated fewer false-positive results. FDG-PET scanning should be further studied in this setting and considered in the preoperative evaluation of selected patients with breast cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

24. The Chief Residency in Radiology Results of a Survey of A3CR2Members

Author

PANICEK, DAVID M. and CARAVELLI, JAMES F.

Abstract

Detailed questionnaires were sent to the 192 members of the American Association of Academic Chief Residents in Radiology (A3CR2) to learn about the logistics of chief resident selection, the responsibilities of the chief resident, the attitudes and perceptions of the chief resident about his or her position, and suggestions for improving the chief residency. Completed questionnaires were returned by 149 (78) chief residents from 111 different residency programs. The results show that radiology residents have a greater voice in selecting their chief residents than in the past. The number and types of responsibilities given to the chief resident at different institutions vary considerably. Although only 62 of respondents felt that being chief resident was worth their time and effort, 88 would accept the position again. The most commonly voiced suggestion was for greater input from the chief resident during the formulation of policies that affect the residents. Based on these results and a review of previous reports about the chief residency in other specialties, several proposals are offered for increasing the effectiveness of the radiology chief residency.

25. Comparative merits of conventional, computed tomographic, and magnetic resonance imaging in assessing mediastinal involvement in surgically confirmed lung carcinoma

Author

Martini, Nael, Heelan, Robert, Westcott, Jack, Bains, Manjit S., McCormack, Patricia, Caravelli, James, Watson, Robin, and Zaman, Muhammad

Abstract

Thirty-four patients with operable malignant tumors of the lung had computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest in addition to regular chest roentgenograms and bronchoscopy. The purpose of the study was to assess the extent of tumor involvement in the hilum and the mediastinum by direct invasion and by regional lymph node metastasis. At thoracotomy, 23 tumors were completely resected and 11 were treated by interstitial implantation of radioisotopes. In addition, a mediastinal lymph node dissection or sampling was performed to correlate nodal involvement with the preoperative studies. The tumor was peripheral in 21 patients and central in 13. Histologically, 18 tumors were adenocarcinomas, 14 epidermoid cancers, and two atypical carcinoids. Preoperatively, 18 tumors were classified as N0 disease, nine as N1, and seven as N2. Pathologically, 11 were N0, eight N1, and 15 N2. Plain chest roentgenograms correlated poorly with the nodal findings at operation. Both magnetic resonance and computed tomographic imaging were highly accurate in assessing the hilum and the presence of mediastinal adenopathy, with a sensitivity rate of 87%. Except for identifying contact with the mediastinum, neither method correlated well with mediastinal invasion when present (sensitivity rate 55% for computed tomography and 64% for magnetic resonance) and neither method could differentiate hyperplastic from metastatic nodes. Hence, no advantage of magnetic resonance over computed tomographic scanning was noted in assessing tumor involvement of the mediastinum by direct invasion or by regional lymph node metastasis.

36. False-positive findings on 18F-FDG PET/CT: differentiation of hibernoma and malignant fatty tumor on the basis of fluctuating standardized uptake values.

Abstract

Objective: Hibernoma is a benign tumor of brown fat that has imaging features similar to those of malignant fat-containing soft-tissue tumors. Hibernoma is metabolically active on (18)F-FDG PET/CT, and its presence can lead to false-positive interpretations. We present three cases in which fatty lesions with increased radiotracer uptake identified on FDG PET/CT turned out to be hibernomas. The standardized uptake values of the lesions were similar to those reported in the literature for liposarcoma. However, all three patients had variable standardized uptake values over time., Conclusion: Variation in standardized uptake values over time is an imaging characteristic that may be helpful for differentiating hibernoma and malignant fatty tumor.
