We Need Better Communication of Imaging Risks!
2021 15 Oct
Patients want to be informed of the risks associated with imaging but frequently are not. A University of Pisa research team concluded this after surveying radiology patients undergoing exams at Italian hospitals (Bastiani et al. 2021; Stewart and Smith-Bindman 2021) . Medical imaging has become vital for diagnosing and managing many diseases.... Read more

Automated Triaging of MRIs Rules Out Cancer in Dense Breasts
2021 08 Oct
Mammography provides early detection when breast cancer treatments are more successful. Unfortunately, mammography is less sensitive in women with dense than with fatty breast tissue. This is unfortunate because the breast cancer risk is three- to six times higher in dense rather than fatty breast tissue and two times higher than that of the average... Read more

Deep Learning Model for Creating Synthetic CT from MRI in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
2021 27 Jul
Researchers investigated the robustness and generalisability of a deep learning network for deriving synthetic CT from MRI of head neck cancer patients and found they were similar to those based on CT, suggesting a robust and reliable method. Radiotherapy planning based only on PET/MRI lacks CT information required for dose calculations.... Read more
