Cancer Risk Increased With Exposure to Four or More CT Scans by Age 18
Increased risk of intracranial tumors, leukemia, and lymphoma by age 25 seen with exposure to four or more CT scans during childhood.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
PET/CT Better Than Bone Scintigraphy in Detection of Bone Metastasis With Breast Cancer
A prospective study compared the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of PET/CT with bone scintigraphy for the detection of metastasis in patients with breast cancer.
Lung Cancer Screening With AI-Based Imaging Has High Sensitivity, Specificity
Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of studies to determine the potential of artificial intelligence-based imaging in the detection of lung cancer.
PSMA PET/CT May Discriminate Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer for Biopsy
Use of 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT may avoid unnecessary biopsies in some men with equivocal PI-RADS 3 lesions on mpMRI.
Breast Cancer Detection: How It is Found and the Importance of Early Detection
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and one where awareness, education, and early detection can have a large impact on a patient’s survival rate. For patients at risk of breast cancer, how can you explain the ways in which breast cancer is screened for and detected, and how important is early detection to reducing mortality?
Sigmoidoscopy Has Sustained Effect on CRC Incidence, Mortality
Pooled analysis of four large-scale trials demonstrated sustained effect on CRC incidence and mortality for 15 years.
Prevalence of Adrenal Tumors Modest Despite Significant Increase in Detection
Researchers sought to understand the significance of increasing detection rates of adrenal tumors due to improved imaging technologies.
Probability of False-Positives Lower With Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Cumulative probabilities of false-positive results substantially lower for biennial versus annual screening, regardless of modality
‘Overuse’ of Surveillance Testing Observed in Low-Grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
A large study showed an increase in surveillance testing over time among patients with low-grade Ta non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Testing Burden on Health-Related Quality of Life High Before and During Breast MRI in Women With DCIS
Researchers sought to determine the effect of breast MRI on women with DCIS before, during, and after undergoing breast MRI.
