The imaging agent could potentially help doctors characterize a malignancy's aggression and identify lesions with a higher likelihood of invasion or metastasis.
A new review led by UCLA researchers examines the utility of commercially available AI tools for screening mammography and evidence surrounding their ability to detect interval cancers.
Experts have developed an RT device they say can be inserted intraoperatively during tumor removal surgery to help slow regrowth in patients with these fast-growing, aggressive brain tumors.
Breast cancer screening guidelines may underestimate individual risk for female aircrew members with long job tenures, warranting earlier and more frequent mammographic surveillance.
The team hopes the technique could provide an objective way to identify clinical concerns earlier by assessing sodium buildup in affected tissues before severe swelling develops.
The research comes as popularity of weight loss medications has intensified in recent years, prompting concern about the loss of muscle mass among some GLP-1 users.
