Routine thyroid cancer screening among asymptomatic patients does not offer any benefit for patients.

Magnetic resonance imaging shows effect of prolonged space travel on vision.

MR elastography is highly repeatable and weakly correlates with age.

Sub-harmonic aided pressure estimation and sub-harmonic imaging can correctly predict responses after 10% chemotherapy completion.

Breast cancers detected by screening mammography do not spontaneously disappear.
