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.

AI bests radiologists at predicting lung cancer treatment responses
More accurate response assessments could give providers an opportunity to proactively manage treatment decisions in the future.
1st patient dosed with new radiopharmaceutical targeting cancer bone pain
The treatment can offer patients a more potent, cost-effective alternative providing long-lasting relief compared to current pain regimens.
Novartis seeks to expand use of prostate therapy Pluvicto, citing positive trial results
An expanded approval could potentially double the number of patients eligible for treatment with the therapy, first approved in 2022.
How clinicians can combat health disparities in cardio-oncology
Researchers, for example, could improve disparities by performing their tests on more diverse groups of patients. Daniel Addison, MD, shared his perspective with Cardiovascular Business.
Using chest X-rays for triage could reduce lung cancer overdiagnoses
Chest X-rays could be the key to mitigating the issue of overdiagnosis in certain patient populations undergoing lung cancer screening, according to new research.

Does the use of PSMA PET impact tumor upstaging?

A new risk analysis suggests the exam will increasingly result in tumor upstaging among high-risk patients.

AI identifies pancreatic cancer frequently missed on CT

Specifically, the computer-aided detection (CAD) tool is capable of identifying lesions that are less than 2 cm.

DBT guidance saves time, reduces exposure during breast calcification biopsy

Experts found that opting for DBT-guided biopsy of suspicious breast calcifications could shave up to five minutes off the total procedure time.

Researchers link ultrasound features with risk of thyroid cancer recurrence

In particular, the experts paid close attention to instances of extrathyroidal extension (ETE) on ultrasound.

FDG-PET shown to predict pancreatic cancer outcomes prior to surgery, could guide treatment decisions

FDG-PET scans in these patients allow clinicians to determine whether the tumors are still viable or not, thus playing a significant role in making treatment decisions.

soft tissue lymphoma versus soft tissue tumor

Soft tissue lymphomas versus soft tissue tumors: MRI features reliably differentiate between the two

A new analysis offers a detailed comparison of soft-tissue lymphomas and soft-tissue tumors based on imaging characteristics from MRI scans—an area of study that has not yet been rigorously explored, the authors of the paper indicated.

Photon-counting CT/AI combo improves multiple myeloma detection

When combined with artificial intelligence-based noise reduction techniques, new photon-counting CT technology can increase the detection of bone disease while also decreasing radiation exposure.

New analysis highlights effectiveness of low-dose CT lung cancer screening

While the incidence of lung cancer did not significantly differ from start to finish, stage-specific incidence did.
