Using Social Media to Build Patient Engagement in Breast Radiology.

Breast radiologists can use social media to promote their brand and further connections with their patients, other physicians, and the greater community as a whole. This article offers a discussion and a guide by which breast radiologists can successfully navigate in the era of social media. The discussion is guided by three principles that, when used in collaboration with one another, will increase overall engagement between breast radiologists and the communities they serve. Ultimately, social media can be used by breast radiologists as an effective tool to facilitate engagement and advocate for and educate patients beyond the walls of the clinic.

The role of FDG-PET/CT in gynecologic imaging: an updated guide to interpretation and challenges.

All women, during their lifetime, are at risk of developing some form of gynecologic malignancy. The role of FDG-PET/CT has become more established in the management of gynecologic malignancies in the last decade. In this article, we will review the role of FDG-PET/CT in endometrial, cervical, ovarian, and vaginal cancer, by highlighting its strengths and limitations. While the role in initial or pre-operative staging for FDG-PET/CT is controversial, it allows noninvasive detection of equivocal or distant metastases, may alter stage and prognosis, and can guide or help eliminate unnecessary interventions that may not be beneficial. FDG-PET/CT is a useful adjunct to traditional staging with MR and CT.
