David Sjostrom, Ph.D., deputy chief physicist, Herlev Hospital, Department of Oncology, Division of Radiotherapy, Herlev, Denmark, shares the first clinical experience treating cancer patients with the Varian Ethos radiation therapy system. He spoke to ITN at ASTRO 2019, where he presented information on the first 5 patients in the world being treated with this new technology. It uses artificial intelligence to take the onboard cone beam CT scans to automatically create an adaptive plan for any changes in patient weight loss, bladder volume, or change in tumor size. The plan can be available in minutes while the patient is on the table. It enables sparing of more healthy tissue and makes adaptive therapy much easier to use.

Elizabeth M. Hecht, M.D., professor of radiology, Columbia University, New York, explains the latest advances to help visualize the difficult to image pancreas. She was a moderator of a session on pancreatic imaging advances at the 2019 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting.
She explained computed tomography is the front line imaging modality, followed by MRI for more detailed examination of the soft tissue details. MRI tissue elastography can also help to differentiate pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer. Hecht also said PET-CT and endoscopic ultrasound also play roles in pancreatic imaging. She said new software is helping automate measurements and artificial intelligence (AI) is in development to help improve pancreatic imaging and to find new radiomic markers that might be missed by the human eye to better detect disease or risk stratify patients.

This is a walk around of an innovative new SPECT-CT nuclear imaging system shown at the Radiological Society Of North America (RSNA) 2018 meeting this week. It's CT system with comes in 16, 64 or 128 slice configurations. It has 12 SPECT detector robotic arms that automatically move toward the patient and use a sensor to stop a few millimeters from the skin to optimize photon counts and SPECT image quality. It also uses more sensitive CZT digital detectors, which allows either faster scan times, or use of only half the radiotracer dose of analog detector scans.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) | January 06, 2020
Karen Ordovas, M.D., MAS, professor of radiology and cardiology at the University of California San Francisco (UCFS) School of Medicine and a Society of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) board member, explains how cardiac MRI can help in women's heart disease and to better define complex congenital heart anatomy. She spoke at the 2019 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting.
She specializes in cardiac and pulmonary imaging, and has particular expertise in using CT and MRI techniques in cardiovascular imaging and the differences of presentation in imaging between male and female cardiac patients. Ordovas is helping advance education around heart disease in women and bring great awareness of quality tools to diagnose heart disease and how heart MRI can help. She also is heavily involved in the use of heart MRIs for pregnant women, since there is no radiation, and patients with congenital heart disease where detailed imaging of the complex anatomy is required.
The use of cardiac MRI in congenital heart disease is common in serial imaging of patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), one of the most common congenital heart diseases for which patients are referred for post-operative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging evaluation. In the past few decades, surgery has proved successful, but most patients require repeat imaging throughout their lives and MRI can offer more detailed soft tissue imaging without the use of radiation.
