Oncology Imaging

Medical imaging has become integral to cancer care, assessing the stage and location of cancerous tumors. By utilizing powerful imaging modalities including CT, MRI, MRA and PET/CT, oncology imaging radiologists are able to assist referring physicians in the detection and diagnosis of cancer.

Multimodality imaging is more important than ever to the field of cardio-oncology
“Multimodality imaging in cardio-oncology is something many of us in the field are truly excited about," Daniel Addison, MD, told Cardiovascular Business. He noted that modalities other than echocardiography are starting to play a much larger role in the treatment of these patients.
AI outperforms radiologists at predicting cancer treatment response based on imaging
These findings have the potential to change how treatment decisions are made in the future, researchers suggest.
Abbreviated MRI could become standard of care for prostate cancer diagnosis
Biparametric prostate MRIs take significantly less time than multiparametric exams, as they do not include a contrast-enhanced sequence. This also makes the abbreviated exams more cost-friendly.
Late-stage prostate cancer diagnoses on the rise
Experts say these new findings highlight the need for more effective screening initiatives among men who may face access barriers.
Surgeons can 'hear' cancerous lesions with help of new dual-mode radiotracer
When used during surgery, it can help providers identify cancerous lesions that are not in their immediate vision.

As cancer therapies become increasingly targeted and complex, the need for sophisticated cardiovascular monitoring has grown in parallel. Cardiovascular Business spoke with Daniel Addison, MD, director of the cardio-oncology program at The Ohio State University and chair of the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Cardiac Imaging Committee, who said the use of multimodality imaging is transforming how clinicians manage cardiovascular risk in cancer patients and survivors.
