Chest CT assists follow-upof head and neck cancer
A Taiwanese study suggests multislice CT chest studies should be routinely performed, especially during follow-up exams, for some head and neck cancer patients.
A Taiwanese study suggests multislice CT chest studies should be routinely performed, especially during follow-up exams, for some head and neck cancer patients.
During a retrospective review, researchers from the Taipei Veterans General Hospital and colleagues found abnormalities in 79 of 270 chest scans from 192 patients with biopsy-proven head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Ten of 15 indeterminate scans with small (< 1 cm) solitary pulmonary nodules showed disease progression on subsequent follow-up scans, which changed the patients' diagnoses to a malignant neoplasm of the lung.
The study was reported in the Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (2008;134[10]:1050-1054).
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.
