Uterine artery embolization can be performed in young women who still wish to become pregnant, according to a study in Fertility and Sterility.
Uterine artery embolization can be performed in young women who still wish to become pregnant, according to a study in Fertility and Sterility.
A prospective study conducted at the Hospital de Madrid in Spain examined the impact of uterine artery embolization on 100 patients, 57 of whom wished to remain fertile (2008;90[6]: 2356-2360).
Eleven pregnancies, eight of which were live births, occurred in 10 women. Three cases ended in early miscarriages. None of the eight newborns had low birth-weight and there were no cases of abnormal placental implantation, according to the researchers. The investigators embolized uterine arteries using 500 to 1200 µm trisacryl gelatin microspheres.
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.
