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?
Emerging AI Algorithm Shows Promise for Abbreviated Breast MRI in Multicenter Study
April 25th 2025An artificial intelligence algorithm for dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI offered a 93.9 percent AUC for breast cancer detection, and a 92.3 percent sensitivity in BI-RADS 3 cases, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Could AI-Powered Abbreviated MRI Reinvent Detection for Structural Abnormalities of the Knee?
April 24th 2025Employing deep learning image reconstruction, parallel imaging and multi-slice acceleration in a sub-five-minute 3T knee MRI, researchers noted 100 percent sensitivity and 99 percent specificity for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.
New bpMRI Study Suggests AI Offers Comparable Results to Radiologists for PCa Detection
April 15th 2025Demonstrating no significant difference with radiologist detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), a biparametric MRI-based AI model provided an 88.4 percent sensitivity rate in a recent study.
