| |  Physicians, trainees and even laypeople can now stand right beside an expert radiologist as he performs one of the most difficult medical procedures of its kind - in virtual reality. | |
|
| |  Results of a recent NRG Oncology study, NRG Oncology/RTOG 0126, show that high-dose radiotherapy did not improve survival for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer but did improve biochemical control and rates of distant metastases, when compared to standard radiotherapy. | |
|
| |  An inexpensive 3-D-printed model of a patient’s vasculature has been shown to be as effective as current commercial models for training medical students. | |
|
| |  Researchers at the University of São Paulo's Medical School in Brazil used magnetic resonance imaging to complete the first study conducted in Latin America to investigate brain volumes in transgender individuals. | |
|
| |  UCLA researchers have discovered that a combination of high doses of radiotherapy and hormonal therapy provides the best chance of decreasing the mortality rate in men with aggressive prostate cancer. | |
|
| |  Optical Mammography, or OM, which uses harmless red or infrared light, has been developed for use in conjunction with X-rays for diagnosis or monitoring in cases demanding repeated imaging where high amounts of ionizing radiation should be avoided. | |
|
| |  An Italian study featured in the March issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine demonstrates that a novel nuclear medicine imaging agent targeting copper accumulation in tumors can detect prostate cancer recurrence early in patients with biochemical relapse (rising prostate-specific antigen [PSA] level). | |
|
| |  Seeing prices and calorie counts on a restaurant menu allows consumers to make better choices when eating out. In the same way, physicians make better choices when presented with the financial cost and potential risks of medications, labs and radiology tests when inside the electronic medical record making treatment decisions. | |
|
| |  Researchers from the UCLA School of Nursing examined clinical records and magnetic resonance imaging brain scans of patients who were recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, and discovered several apparent connections between thinning of the brain's cerebral cortex and apnea symptoms. | |
|
| |  New research indicates that young recreational and elite athletes commonly accumulate excess fluid in the bone marrow around the joint that connects the spine with the pelvis. | |
|
| |  Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe obstructive coronary artery disease, according to researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City. | |
|
| |  A new study shows that higher doses of radiation do not improve survival for many patients with prostate cancer, compared with the standard radiation treatment. | |
|
| |  An 84 year old was complaining of repeatedly losing his balance and falling over. He visited his primary physician in Northern Ireland from where he was referred to the emergency room. On MRI, the team of doctors found a 3½-inch pocket of air in his brain. This has never been reported before in any case and thus the detailed report titled, “The man that lost (part of) his mind,” was published in the journal BMJ Case Reports. | |
|
| |  To uncover connections between brain regions and specific cognitive functions, neuroscientists have long made extensive use of techniques like functional resonance imaging (fMRI). First introduced in the 1990's, the method allows tracking the brain's activity while a test subject performs a task or responds to stimuli in the MRI scanner. | |
|
| |  Choline intake during pregnancy can influence infant metabolism and brain development, according to a series of studies from the University of Illinois. Although the role of choline in neurodevelopment has been studied before in rodents, the new research, done with pigs, has more relevance to humans. | |
|
| |  Tumor cells circulating throughout the body in blood vessels have long been feared as harbingers of metastasizing cancer - even though most free-floating cancer cells will not go on to establish a new tumor. | |
|
| |  By peering at the brains of study subjects prompted to suppress negative emotions, scientists have gained new insights into how emotional regulation influences negative feelings and memories. The researchers hope the findings will lead to new methods to combat depression. | |
|
| |  A team of scientists at the University of Cambridge has discovered that specific genes are linked to individual differences in brain anatomy in autistic children. | |
|
| |  As we get older, it's not uncommon to experience "senior moments," in which we forget where we parked our car or call our children by the wrong names. And we may wonder: Are these memory lapses a normal part of aging, or do they signal the early stages of a severe disorder such as Alzheimer's disease? Currently, there's no good way to tell. | |
|
| |  Faster computations will allow researchers to see the finer details of brain activity in functional brain imaging. | |
|
| |  A new approach to analyzing prostate gland tissue may help address a major challenge in treating prostate cancer - determining which tumors are unlikely to progress and which could be life threatening and require treatment. | |
|
| |  A new study has shown that pre-school children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have abnormal connections between certain brain networks. | |
|
| |  Researchers developed this treatment for patients with mild-to-moderate obesity to reduce the attrition that is common with weight-loss efforts. | |
|
| |  An overview of Sciatica and how pain caused by the condition can be reduced. | |
|
| |  One option to decrease the emission of particulate matter, as well as elemental and organic carbon, is to blend diesel fuel with biodiesel. | |
|
| |  Microbubbles are small, gas-filled bubbles, that are widely used as contrast agents in medical imaging and as carriers for targeted drug delivery. | |
|
| |  Medical school students receive little formal instruction in radiation oncology, a Loyola study has found. | |
|
| |  AMRA, the international leader in body composition analysis, and Siemens Healthineers have announced a new agreement that will see AMRA’s cloud-based, body composition analysis integrated into Siemens Healthineers Digital Ecosystem. | |
|
| |  The psychiatric symptoms of NMDA receptor encephalitis are often not identified as a feature of this condition early on. The diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis utilizes history, examination, and specific assays. | |
