Groups say vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty equal
Practitioners can choose either vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty to treat vertebral compression fractures until a prospective trial comparing the two techniques says otherwise, according a multisociety position statement on the issue.
Practitioners can choose either vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty to treat vertebral compression fractures until a prospective trial comparing the two techniques says otherwise, according a multisociety position statement on the issue.
The American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology, the Society of Interventional Radiology, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and the American Society of Spine Radiology endorsed the statement. It asserts that vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are safe and efficacious procedures for the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis or tumors. Both techniques provide long-lasting benefits that are superior to the conservative management of these patients, as long as they are performed in accordance with published standards (J Vasc Interv Radiol 2007;18[3]:325-330).
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.
