RF ablation knocks out renal cell carcinoma
Small tumors on the surface of the kidney can't escape from radio-frequency ablation treatment, according to researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Small tumors on the surface of the kidney can't escape from radio-frequency ablation treatment, according to researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital.
In the largest such study to date, the group followed 34 patients who had been treated with RF ablation for 42 renal cell carcinoma tumors during a 3.5-year period. They were able to completely ablate all of the 29 exophytic tumors and both parenchymal tumors in one or more visits. The mean diameter of the tumors was 3.2 cm. The team could completely ablate only five of the 11 tumors that had a component in the renal sinus, which acts as a heat sink by continuously allowing cool blood to flow into the area. The study was published in the February issue of Radiology.
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.
