Tumor treatment costs compared
Researchers from the Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris have compared the expense of radio-frequency ablation and cryoablation, based on the destruction of one 2- or 3-cm tumor in more than 50 procedures at a Paris hospital. Their findings, presented as a poster at ESGAR 2001, showed both procedures to be more expensive than percutaneous ethanol injection. Costs would fall by 5% to 10% for RF ablation and by 25% to 30% for cryoablation if the annual numbers of each procedure doubled, the researchers said.

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.
