Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to drive significant morbidity and mortality. Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a key marker of aggressive biology, yet confirmation usually arrives only after surgery. An MRI-based approach now captures how uneven the tumour and its immediate surroundings appear on routine sequences, turning those patterns...Read more

Primary liver cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for most cases. Surveillance aims to find disease earlier in people at risk, yet ultrasound, the main tool for routine monitoring, can miss small or subtle lesions. More intensive imaging can detect disease earlier but is demanding for services...Read more

Cardiovascular disease is significantly underdiagnosed in women compared to men. The widely used Framingham Risk Score estimates the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease over a decade, factors in age, sex, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. Researchers from the U.S. and the Netherlands used a comprehensive dataset to develop...Read more

Johns Hopkins University researchers (Baltimore, MD, USA) recently developed a deep-learning-based algorithm capable of predicting sudden arrhythmic death using contrast-enhanced heart MRI data of ischemic heart scarring and the patient’s clinical background. The study’s results were recently published in Nature Cardiovascular Research , which marks...Read more

New research sponsored by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is beneficial to both astronauts and the general population on Earth. NASA launched the study with UT Southwestern Medical Center to enhance cardiovascular risk prediction for astronauts. The result: a new online prediction tool that integrates traditional risk factors...Read more
