Article Synopsis
- - Contrast-enhanced breast MRI is recommended for high-risk women but has limitations, such as false positives and increased patient anxiety due to hormonal sensitivity and the potential for overdiagnosis.
- - Breast-targeted PET imaging offers higher specificity and can detect cancers regardless of breast density or hormonal fluctuations, although traditional PET involves high radiation levels, limiting its use in some cases.
- - A case study using the low-dose Radialis PET imager for a 33-year-old patient highlighted its ability to detect lesions with low metabolic activity; however, it did not reveal any malignant areas in this instance, resulting in surgical interventions for tumor removal.
Radiation protection is an essential issue in diagnostic radiology to ensure the safety of patients, healthcare professionals, and the general public. Lead has traditionally been used as a shielding material due to its high atomic number, high density, and effectiveness in attenuating radiation. However, some concerns related to the long-term health effects of toxicity, environmental disease as well as heavy weight of lead have led to the search for alternative lead-free shielding materials.

Researchers have been exploring the potential of miRNAs as therapeutic agents in cancer treatment. Specifically, targeting the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway with miRNAs has shown promise in improving the effectiveness of radiotherapy (RT), a common cancer treatment.
