Future of imaging science depends on risk takers
Radiologists need to become great risk takers and follow clinical science's move toward systems biology or become irrelevant, according to Dr. Elias Zerhouni, director of the National Institutes of Health.
Radiologists need to become great risk takers and follow clinical science's move toward systems biology or become irrelevant, according to Dr. Elias Zerhouni, director of the National Institutes of Health.
Imagers need to replace the current imaging approach to understand complex disease mechanisms, such as inflammation or apoptosis, rather than simply specific conditions, like arthritis or cancer. That means moving down the angstrom scale to resolve complex macromolecular structures, Zerhouni said.
Radiologists should develop biomarkers to assist in the study of treatments for long-term chronic diseases and get involved in image-guided intervention and microsampling for disease characterization, he said.
Zerhouni spoke during a session on the future of biomedical imaging and imaging research at the European Congress of Radiology. The NIH will invest about $1 billion in 2007 in projects with non-U.S. partners.
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.
