Can Imaging Gene Expression in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells be Successful in Large Animals?
The development of objective and quantitative imaging approaches for tracking stem cell fate, including stem cell location, survival, engraftment, and differentiation, may lead to better patient stratification and eventual successful translation of cardiac stem cell therapy into the clinic.

Radiation, CT, and Children: The Simple Answer Is ... It's Complicated
According to the Institute of Medicine report, errors in radiation dosing need the same consideration as errors in medication dosing, where the adverse effects are much more often acutely evident; to highlight a portion of this report, "as health care [eg, multidetector CT] and the system that delivers it become more complex, the opportunities for errors [eg, excessive radiation dose] abound."

Implementation of Digital Mammography in a Population-based Breast Cancer Screening Program: Effect of Screening Round on Recall Rate and Cancer Detection
The results of this study show that recall rates and the rates of invasive tests performed were lower in the digital mammography group than in the screen-film mammography group, whereas no significant differences between the groups were observed for the overall cancer detection rate.

Breast Percent Density: Estimation on Digital Mammograms and Central Tomosynthesis Projections
Currently, no standard method exists for breast percent density (PD) estimation on three-dimensional reconstructed images; until the emergence of such a method, PD could be estimated on central digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) projections if DBT were to replace digital mammography in clinical practice.

Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: MR Imaging for Restaging after Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy with Concomitant Chemotherapy Part II. What Are the Criteria to Predict Involved Lymph Nodes?
The most reliable predictors for identifying benign lymph nodes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer on an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide–enhanced MR image for restaging after radiation therapy with concomitant chemotherapy are the estimated percentage of the white region within the node and the ratio of the measured surface area of the white region within the node to the measured surface area of the total node.
