Take a quick look at Diagnostic Imaging's Top 5 stories of the week.

Undergoing more frequent abdominal screening can improve life expectancy and quality of life for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

No difference was seen between women who were screened yearly and those who did not undergo annual exams.

Algorithms outperformed providers in accurate, quick detection and classification.

Advanced technology solutions are key to helping providers detect colorectal cancer faster and sooner.

Cherenkov imaging uses special BeamSite cameras to capture radiation beam interaction with tissue, making radiation oncology treatments a visual process.

Clinical trial results show MRI as more accurate and less intrusive at diagnosis for men with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer.

Men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer can be successfully treated with MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound without experiencing incontinence or erectile dysfunction.

Evaluation of tumor features as effective as radiologists at distinguishing malignant thyroid nodules

Likelihood of malignancy did not differ between boys and girls.

Routine thyroid cancer screening among asymptomatic patients does not offer any benefit for patients.

Use of thyroid ultrasounds may identify cancer in low-risk patients and reduce unnecessary thyroid biopsies.
