Prostate cancer remains a major global burden, while diagnostic pathways continue to evolve to balance accuracy, invasiveness and resource use. Multiparametric MRI is central to noninvasive assessment but can be affected by motion, interpretation variability and scan duration. Researchers have reported an in silico evaluation of MRI histopathology,...Read more

Most lung cancer diagnoses in the United Kingdom follow symptom onset or emergency presentation and many people hesitate to seek help or struggle to access investigations. Self-request chest X-ray services in Leeds and Greater Manchester were created to lower these barriers by allowing eligible adults to attend radiology departments without a...Read more

Artificial intelligence has shown strong performance in mammographic screening, yet implementation remains cautious because even high-performing models can miss cancers. A key challenge is knowing when the model’s prediction is reliable enough to act on without human input. Researchers evaluated a strategy that pairs a probability of malignancy...Read more

Positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used in oncology and other areas of clinical practice for diagnosis, staging, treatment monitoring and follow-up. High-quality images are essential for detecting small lesions and guiding decisions, but image clarity is strongly linked to scan duration. While longer acquisitions improve image quality,...Read more

Prostate cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting men worldwide and poses a major burden on health systems. While biparametric MRI is recommended as a primary diagnostic approach, its standard assessment method—PI-RADS—has limitations, particularly a high false-positive rate. These limitations often result in unnecessary biopsies,...Read more

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in breast cancer screening by providing highly detailed anatomical and physiological images without exposing patients to ionising radiation. Despite its clinical value, breast MRI is underused in screening due to long scan times, high costs and reduced patient throughput. Traditional MRI protocols...Read more

Prostate cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies in men, necessitating advances in diagnostic imaging to enhance detection and treatment planning. Traditional imaging techniques, including multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), provide insights into vascular structures within the...Read more

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies among men, and early detection is crucial for optimising treatment outcomes. However, a major challenge in prostate cancer diagnosis lies in distinguishing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) from indolent cases that may not require immediate intervention. Traditional diagnostic...Read more
