Radiomics: An Emerging Frontier in Cancer Diagnostics, Treatment Planning
This overview of radiomics explains its potential for improving diagnosis, predictions of tumor response and recurrence, and patient prognosis.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Deep Learning Models Can Help Interpret Chest Radiographs
Models developed to detect pneumothorax, opacity, nodule or mass, fracture on frontal chest radiographs.
Does Better Breast Imaging Lead to Improved Outcomes or Increased Overdiagnosis?
Advances in breast imaging such as DBT offer better, clearer images of breast tissue that can identify even low-grade DCIS tumors. But will more sensitive imaging lead to improved outcomes or increased overtreatment?
Cancer Risk Not Increased by Childhood Exposure to Diagnostic Radiation
Risk of developing cancer as a result of childhood exposure to medical imaging radiation is not increased in children or adults, a new study reports.
ESW Technique Improves Nanoparticle Drug Delivery to Solid Tumors with Restricted Blood Flow
Combining extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) technique with nanoparticle delivery improves treatment of difficult-to-treat solid tumors, such as anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Experienced Radiologists Can Detect Breast Cancer at First Glance
Skilled radiologists see abnormalities immediately, and researchers want to learn how they do it.
Higher Radiation Doses May Not Improve Survival in Localized Prostate Cancer
New technology has enabled doctors to administer higher doses of radiation to prostate cancer tumors with fewer side effects; however, escalating the dose of radiation may not help patients with localized prostate cancer in the long term.
Breast Cancer Screening Improves Among Low-income Women in Medicaid Expansion States
Low-income women in Medicaid expansion states in the United States are more likely to undergo breast cancer screening than those in nonexpansion states, according to a study presented at RSNA 2015.
American College of Radiology (ACR) Releases Updated Appropriateness Criteria, Including 3 New Criteria
American College of Radiology updated its Appropriateness Criteria for 19 topics, including 3 new criteria. These guidelines assist clinicians in the most efficacious use of radiology.
3D printing offers innovative method for delivering medication
