New research from UCL and UCLH suggests that prostate cancer in some men can be identified from an MRI scan with a very high degree of confidence, potentially reducing the need for a biopsy. Four experienced radiologists, working both individually and as a group, identified a subset of patients in whom they were ‘99 per […]
Read MoreA newly developed radiotheranostic pair, 68Ga/177Lu-NYM096, can identify tumors and effectively deliver targeted radiotherapy to patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Using a small molecule compound, the new approach helps to mitigate toxicity issues common with treatment, offering a safe and feasible strategy for those with end-stage disease. This research was published in the September issue of […]
Read MoreUntil recently, the thymus was thought to be of little use beyond puberty, but new research has shown that radiation to the organ is associated with worse outcomes in patients being treated for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In a study published in the cancer journal Annals of Oncology [1], researchers analysed 1,107 patients with NSCLC […]
Read MoreSerac Healthcare, a clinical radiopharmaceutical company developing the molecular imaging agent 99mTc-maraciclatide, and the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford have had phase 2 data published from the DETECT (Detecting endometriosis expressed integrins using technetium-99m) imaging study. Published online in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Women’s Health, the study […]
Read MoreASTRA-Net helps reconstruct overlooked peripheral airways, creating more complete maps for bronchoscopy procedures. Locating small lung tumors located deep within the lungs remains challenging, as they need to be navigated through a complex network of tiny airways. Existing AI systems trained on incomplete human annotations may also fail to identify peripheral airways that were omitted […]
Read MoreLow brain metabolism as measured from ¹⁸F-FDG PETCT is associated with higher mortality in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to new research published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Incorporating brain ¹⁸F-FDG uptake alongside clinical, tumour, and biological data improved prediction of overall survival, providing physicians with valuable […]
Read MoreA team of crew members aboard a commercial spaceflight acquired the first diagnostic x-rays during an orbital flight. Results of the mission were published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America. “It’s been a dream for aerospace medicine to have more than one imaging modality for diagnosing illnesses and injuries in space,” said Dr […]
Read MoreFindings from the landmark Articulate Pro study have now been published, marking a major milestone for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in NHS histopathology laboratories and demonstrating its potential to improve and standardise prostate cancer diagnosis. Led by Professor Clare Verrill at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, the study is one of the first examples […]
