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.

How often does mid-treatment imaging change how cancers are managed?

Imaging might not drive as many treatment adjustments as previously believed, according to a new meta-analysis.

Imaging may be misleading when determining the success of cancer treatment

A new analysis calls into question the use of imaging alone to determine the efficacy of ablative radiation therapy.

Prostate cancer radiotherapy timeline can be safely shortened

Isodose moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy allows patients to undergo just 4-5 weeks of treatment, compared to conventional therapy that can take around 8.

New radiopharmaceutical targeted at gastrointenstinal cancers yields impressive results

Trial results thus far indicate the drug can significantly extend progression-free survival compared to current standard of care treatments.

New PET method combines antibody with radioactive isotope to improve lung cancer detection

By giving providers greater insight into a tumor’s molecular footprint, the method could also reduce the need for invasive biopsies.

VI-RADS threshold, imaging features predict bladder cancer invasiveness with nearly 100% accuracy

New findings related to Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System scores and specific MRI findings could improve the management of bladder cancer.

PHOTO GALLERY: What do thyroid nodules look like on imaging

This is a collection of radiology imaging showing various presentations of thyroid nodules.

Proteins in tardigrades could help prevent radiation-induced side effects.

Tiny 'water bears' may hold key to reducing radiation-induced side effects

These animals are virtually indestructible and have long outlived the dinosaurs due to their ability to withstand extreme cold, heat, natural disasters and even cosmic radiation.
