Top news from a featured radiology search on SearchMedica for Jan. 12, 2011: patient monitoring in MRI
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for monitoring prostate cancer progression in patients managed by active surveillanceBritish Journal of Radiology | Jan 1, 2011
A 50-patient pilot study from the UK Institute of Cancer Research finds that apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) on diffusion-weighted MRI are significantly reduced over time in those patients under active surveillance for early prostate cancer whose cancers progress to the point that they require radical treatment. Will this help encourage patients to opt for surveillance rather than immediate treatment?
MRI-Based AI Model Shows Promise in Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis with Breast Cancer
April 15th 2024For the prediction of axillary lymph node metastasis in patients with breast cancer, an MRI-based, 4D convolutional neural network model demonstrated an AUC of 87 percent and sensitivity of 89 percent, according to new research.
