Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for monitoring prostate cancer progression in patients managed by active surveillanceBritish Journal of Radiology | Jan 1, 2011
A 50-patient pilot study from the UK Institute of Cancer Research finds that apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) on diffusion-weighted MRI are significantly reduced over time in those patients under active surveillance for early prostate cancer whose cancers progress to the point that they require radical treatment. Will this help encourage patients to opt for surveillance rather than immediate treatment?
Could Ultrafast MRI Enhance Detection of Malignant Foci for Breast Cancer?
April 10th 2025In a new study involving over 120 women, nearly two-thirds of whom had a family history of breast cancer, ultrafast MRI findings revealed a 5 percent increase in malignancy risk for each second increase in the difference between lesion and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) time to enhancement (TTE).
MRI Study Suggests Shape of White Matter Hyperintensities May Be Predictive of Cognitive Decline
April 7th 2025Emerging research demonstrated that cognitive declines in memory, executive function and processing speed domains were associated with irregular shape of periventricular/confluent white matter hyperintensities.
Can Abbreviated MRI Have an Impact in Rectal Cancer Staging?
April 4th 2025Abbreviated MRI demonstrated a 95.3 percent specificity for rectal cancer and provided strong agreement with the full MRI protocol for T staging and detection of extramural venous invasion, according to newly published research.
