Post Covid Vaccine Findings on Mammograms
|
|
|
It’s being reported from mammographers all over the country that women are showing positive nodes on mammograms after they had the Covid-19 vaccine. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are causing lymph nodes to activate and increase in size. The swelling is benign and seems to resolve with time.
It started in January as biopsy numbers began to climb and the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) put out an advisory about unnecessary biopsies. They recommended asking the patients about Covid-19 status and record the date and which arm received the vaccine.

How Is Your Brain? Will you be a Super Ager?
|
|
|
Super Agers are individuals who are in their 80’s or older who have the same cognitive abilities comparable to those in middle age. Radiology image of the year was shown last summer 2020 at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) in New Orleans. Research with PET scans showed that compared with normal agers and those with mild cognitive decline, super agers have a lower burden of tau and amyloid pathology associated with neurodegeneration.
