Studies have demonstrated a complex interplay between joint inflammation and synovial hypervascularity that causes growth of new unmyelinated nerve fibers responsible for pain. Embolization targets joint hypervascularity, to disrupt the inflammatory cycle and provide pain relief. The standard treatment algorithm for chronic joint pain is well-established and entails escalating therapeutic options that include exercise, self-management programs, analgesic medications, intra-articular injections, and finally surgical replacement or release. Genicular artery embolization (GAE), targeting abnormal vasculature around the knee joint, is the most heavily studied musucloskeletal embolization procedure, reflecting the high worldwide prevalence and increasing incidence of knee osteoarthritis. GAE is now supported by multiple prospective studies, including randomized control trials comparing GAE versus sham treatment. Embolization has also extended outside of the knee joint to include the shoulder (treatment of adhesive capsulitis or secondary stiff shoulder), elbow (medial/lateral epicondylitis), hip (osteoarthritis, great trochanteric pain syndrome), and ankle (plantar fasciitis).

As all CT examinations include localizer images, this approach could allow opportunistic osteoporosis screening in patients undergoing clinically indicated imaging by PCD CT. <b>Objective:</b> To assess the utility of PCD-CT spectral localizer images for opportunistic derivation of area BMD (aBMD) values and T-scores, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the reference standard. <b>Methods:</b> This prospective study included patients ≥18 years old scheduled for clinically indicated lumbar spine CT between October 2023 and February 2024 and who underwent DXA within the 13 prior months or were scheduled for DXA within the subsequent 13 months. Participants underwent lumbar spine CT by PCD CT including spectral localizer images. Lumbar spine aBMD was extracted from clinical DXA reports. ROIs were placed on lumbar vertebral bodies and background soft tissues to extract areal densities from spectral localizer images using material decomposition; areal densities were used to derive lumbar spine aBMD values. The aBMD values were used to derive T-scores, which were classified as representing normal (≥-1) or abnormal (<-1) bone mass. DXA-derived and PCD-CT derived measurements were compared. <b>Results:</b> The study included 51 participants (mean age: 62 years [range, 28-83 years]; 31 female, 20 male).

The difference between DXA-derived and PCD-CT derived T-scores showed a small correlation with patient age (r=-0.13), absolute interval between DXA and PCD CT (r=.15), and BMI (r=0.28); this difference in scores did not show a significant difference between male and female patients (0.08 vs 0.13, respectively; p=.81). PCD-CT T-scores had sensitivity of 97%, specificity of 71%, PPV of 90%, and NPV of 91% for detecting abnormal bone mass using DXA-derived T-scores as the reference standard. <b>Conclusion:</b> PCD-CT spectral localizers showed clinical utility for deriving aBMD values and, consequently, T-scores. <b>Clinical Impact:</b> The T-score derived from PCD-CT spectral localizers may serve as an opportunistic screening tool for low bone mass and osteoporosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142549139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Breast ultrasound provides an alternative screening modality to mammography in low-resource settings. <b>Objective:</b> To evaluate the performance of ABUS with remote reading as the primary screening modality for breast cancer. <b>Methods:</b> This prospective study enrolled asymptomatic women 35-69 years old from 46 community health centers across 18 provinces representing all six regions of China from January 2021 to December 2021. Participants underwent screening ABUS as the sole breast cancer screening modality, with images acquired by a technologist at the community health center. The 3D volumetric data were transferred via cloud-based software to a single remote reading center, where examinations were interpreted independently in batches by two subspecialized breast radiologists using BI-RADS; a third radiologist at the remote reader center resolved discrepancies. Diagnostic reports were returned to the community centers, and patients sought follow-up care at local hospitals. The reference standard incorporated a combination of histopathology and 24-month follow-up. Outcomes measures included cancer detection rate, abnormal interpretation rate (AIR), sensitivity, specificity, biopsy rate, and PPV. <b>Results:</b> The final analysis included 5978 enrolled participants (median age, 46 years [IQR 40-52 years]) who underwent screening ABUS at the community health centers with subsequent remote reading.
