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.

Multibillion-dollar deal brings together major industry players to develop 'next gen' radiopharmaceuticals
The joint venture is intended to advance cancer diagnostics and treatment, with the potential to rake in over $4 billion, those involved estimate.
Interventional radiologist 1st in world to deliver newly approved cancer treatment
The completion of the first treatment represents a "significant milestone" for patients with liver cancer, the IR who led the procedure says.
Treatment-related cancers on the rise, new study suggests
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia is an aggressive form of blood cancer and bone marrow that occurs in the years following radiation and chemotherapy.
MRI-guided ablation as effective as surgery for prostate cancer treatment
A new clinical trial investigated the safety and efficacy of the procedure, along with its impact on urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and other factors.
AI-enabled lesion quantification tool earns new CPT code
The software gives clinicians detailed insight into how patients are responding to treatment based on changes in lesion size and metabolic activity, offering earlier opportunities to alter care plans.

The approach—called GammaTile—involves placing small radiation seeds at a tumor site during surgery.

New radiation therapy treatment stalls recurrence while sparing healthy tissue in patients with brain cancer

The treatment has the potential to “extend lifespans and improve quality of life” in patients with brain cancer, according to experts at UC San Diego Health.

MRI/PSA combo cuts down on unnecessary biopsies in patients with suspected PCa

The strategy of combining the two tests improved specificity and positive predictive value in detecting clinically significant cancer compared to PSA alone.

'Radiologic serendipity' a common trigger event that ends in thyroid surgery in asymptomatic patients

In this cohort, experts found that just 34% of surgeries were performed on symptomatic patients, which shifted their focus to other potential modes of detection.

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.
