Patient Information: The Future of Tumor Ablation Therapies
RFA and other tumor ablation therapies are already widely used to treat liver tumors and to eliminate painful bone tumors. RFA treatment of liver tumors has been approved by the FDA for almost a decade, and some researchers recommend that RFA be the first-line treatment for tumors in that organ.
Researchers are currently studying the use of RFA and other tumor ablation methods for the following areas:
• Kidney
• Lung
• Breast
• Prostate
• Adrenal glands
The National Institutes of Health is conducting studies on RFA for the treatment of liver and kidney tumors and is also testing the efficacy of different equipment.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
