The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered module provides a prostate segmentation tool for MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedures in patients with prostate cancer.
Study Finds Questionable Adherence to Guidelines for Rectal MRI
December 15th 2023In one of the study periods from recently published research on rectal MRI acquisition, researchers found that 39.7 percent of rectal MRI exams adhered to guidelines from the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) and only 6.8 percent followed guidelines from the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR).
Study Says Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Offers Comparable Breast Cancer Detection to MRI
November 15th 2023In findings from an enriched cohort of asymptomatic patients with screening-detected abnormalities, researchers found that contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) was superior to conventional mammography and offered equivalent detection of breast cancer in comparison to breast MRI and abbreviated breast MRI.
Is Surveillance Imaging Necessary After Primary Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer?
November 13th 2023For patients who had a complete metabolic response to radiation treatment for head and neck cancer, the authors of a recent study found that surveillance imaging with PET/CT, MRI or CT did not improve outcomes in comparison to expectant management.
Current and Emerging Perspectives on Contrast Media in Radiology
November 1st 2023In a recent video interview series, Dushyant Sahani, M.D., discussed the critical role of contrast media in diagnostic imaging, lessons learned from the contrast media shortage, key considerations with generic agents and currently unmet needs with contrast agents.
Large MRI Study Links High Proton Density Fat Fraction to Elevated Liver Disease Risks
October 27th 2023In a study of over 375,000 people, researchers found that a high liver MRI proton density fat fraction was associated with an over 7.5-fold higher risk for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, a 4.5-fold higher risk for malignancy, and a 3.8-fold elevated risk for cirrhosis of the liver.
Can DWI MRI Offer a Viable Non-Contrast Alternative for Breast Cancer Assessment?
October 19th 2023In a newly published literature review, researchers examined the benefits of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer characterization and monitoring of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, current drawbacks that thwart wider adoption, and emerging techniques that may enhance the modality’s effectiveness.
Mammography-Based Deep Learning Model Facilitates Higher Breast Cancer Detection on Screening MRI
September 22nd 2023New research suggests the capability of a mammography-based deep learning model to identify women at high risk of breast cancer led to more than triple the cancer detection rate on breast MRI in comparison to traditional risk assessment tools.
AI Can Improve Tumor Mapping, Aid Patient Counseling in Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer
August 31st 2023Wayne G. Brisbane, MD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, discussed the challenges of focal therapy for prostate cancer and how Unfold AI can help improve the accuracy of this treatment, as well as help counsel patients during the treatment decision process.
