Diagnostic Imaging's A Look Ahead: July 12, 2021, to July 16, 2021
Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.
In this week’s preview, here are some highlights of what you can expect to see coming soon:
In his monthly column, Editorial Board member Mina Makary, M.D., assistant professor of radiology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, takes on the topic of non-invasive virtual biopsy. Look for his blog later this week to see the case he lays out for why it’s a better, safer option for the future of cancer management.

When found early, thyroid cancer has a good prognosis, but it is typically diagnosed by needle biopsy. Recently published research reveals that combining photoacoustic and ultrasound images with artificial intelligence can lead to accurate diagnoses in a non-invasive way. Look for an article later this week that details the results of this study published in Cancer Research.
