Endovascular embolization stops nosebleeds
A minimally invasive technique can successfully stop recurrent nosebleeds in patients who are prone to them, according to a radiologist's study published in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.
A minimally invasive technique can successfully stop recurrent nosebleeds in patients who are prone to them, according to a radiologist's study published in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.
Nosebleeds can be particularly troubling for patients who have had nasal surgery or are taking blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood pressure drugs. In around 6% of cases, recurrent nosebleeds require nasal packing, heat cauterization, or invasive surgery to curb recurrence.
After endovascular embolization using platinum fiber coils, 19 of 20 patients had no further rebleeding, and only one patient had transient facial pain (J NeuroIntervent Surg 2010;2:171-175).
The technique uses a fine guidewire or catheter to insert detachable platinum coils. They expand into a predetermined shape to slow or block the flow of blood.
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.
