Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and the University of Southern California have developed automated techniques to better document changes to brain tumors occurring over time.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and the University of Southern California have developed automated techniques to better document changes to brain tumors occurring over time.
The researchers at the Mayo Clinic described the most common approaches to change detection, ranging from manual inspection, measurement sampling, and volumetrics to warping and temporal analysis (J Digital Imaging, e-pub 29 June 2004).
The paper suggests a number of technical approaches for separating acquisition-related changes from pathology-related changes, including preacquisition registration of scans, scaling correction, subvoxel registration, and change computation.
FDA Approves Fluorescence Imaging System for Detecting Residual Breast Cancer
April 18th 2024The combination of the optical imaging agent Lumisight and the fluorescence imaging device Lumicell Direct Visualization System, collectively known as LumiSystem, reportedly offers 84 percent accuracy with real-time detection of residual breast cancer after lumpectomy procedures.
Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
