A new study has shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to evaluate responses to pre-surgery (neo-adjuvant) chemotherapy or radiation may predict survival among patients with advanced rectal cancer. The findings suggest that MRI-assessed tumor responses to neoadjuvant therapy can help physicians to better plan their patients’ subsequent treatments. MRI prior to surgery could help ...
MRI can determine if a patient has endometrial versus cervical cancer even when a biopsy can’t make that distinction, according to a new study. Determining the primary site of a tumor helps determine appropriate cancer treatment. The study, which is being presented during the American Roentgen Ray Society Annual Meeting on May 3 in Chicago, ...
MRI screening for breast cancer delivers consistent rates of cancer detection and fewer false-positive results over time, according to a new study published online and in the April print edition of Radiology. While MRI can be more effective than mammography at identifying suspicious areas of the breast, it is not always able to distinguish between ...
Cancer Research UK scientists have developed a new imaging technique that can show when breast cancer treatment is working, weeks before current methods. The research is published in the British Journal of Cancer1 . By using two specially labelled chemical markers the researchers were able to see the very early changes in cancer cells that ...
The latest version of Syngo Mammo Report, the mammography workstation from Siemens, for the first time combines tomosynthesis, 3D ultrasound and 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 2D mammography. That way, breast care specialists can interpret images from various examinations of one patient at a glance. When mammography indicates a lump in the breast, radiologists ...
