Breast-specific gamma scans monitor chemo
Breast-specific gamma imaging is highly accurate in monitoring the response of breast cancers to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, according to a study presented at the American Society of Breast Surgeons' annual meeting in Las Vegas.
Breast-specific gamma imaging is highly accurate in monitoring the response of breast cancers to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, according to a study presented at the American Society of Breast Surgeons' annual meeting in Las Vegas.
In their 12-subject study, George Washington University Hospital researchers found gamma imaging accurately establishes tumor size within 5 mm after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The pathologic size ranged from 2.6 cm to 2 mm postchemotherapy. In addition, the correlation coefficients are superior to those of other modalities, including physical exam, mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and FDG-PET, according to the authors.
The researchers compared gamma camera breast tumor images postchemotherapy with pathologic size at excision. They found the gamma imaging accurately reflected tumor size in all 12 patients.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
