Recent research addresses RFA for lung cancer
Lung cancer is one of the newer applications for RFA. Research papers from the peer-reviewed literature listed here often represent initial series or experiences observed by the authors. Included is one paper on patient selection and a report on a survey of international studies of the topic. Thirteen papers span the period from 2003 to 2005.

Strategies to Reduce Disparities in Interventional Radiology Care
March 19th 2025In order to help address the geographic, racial, and socioeconomic barriers that limit patient access to interventional radiology (IR) care, these authors recommend a variety of measures ranging from increased patient and physician awareness of IR to mobile IR clinics and improved understanding of social determinants of health.

Study: Monitoring of Prostate MRI Exams Could Lead to 75 Percent Reduction of Gadolinium Contrast
March 17th 2025While DCE MRI was deemed helpful in over 67 percent of cases in which it was used, researchers found that monitored prostate MRI exams, which facilitated a 75 percent reduction of DCE MRI sequences, had comparable sensitivity for prostate cancer as non-monitored exams.
