MRI Clues Could Help Predict Prostate Cancer’s Return After Radiation
MRI scans taken before prostate cancer treatment may already contain clues about which patients are most at risk for the disease returning after radiation. In a new study, Onofrio A Catalano and colleagues analyzed pretreatment prostate MRIs and… MRI Clues Could Help Predict Prostate Cancer’s Return After Radiation
FlexNIRS Offers Needle-Free Way to Track Blood Pressure
Doctors often use an invasive catheter inside an artery to get continuous blood pressure readings during surgery, but that can be uncomfortable and risk complications. In a new study, Zahra Einalou, Maria Angela Franceschini and colleagues tested… FlexNIRS Offers Needle-Free Way to Track Blood Pressure
A Faster, Clearer Way to See Brain Activity with MEG
Understanding how different parts of the brain communicate requires precise maps of neural activity. In a new study, Tommi Raij and colleagues improved the way scientists interpret data from magnetoencephalography, or MEG — a technology… A Faster, Clearer Way to See Brain Activity with MEG
Generating PET Images — Without the Radiation
PET scans can reveal inflammation in the brain, but they’re costly and require injecting a small amount of radioactive material. In a new study, Marco Loggia and colleagues developed an artificial intelligence system that can create “synthetic”… Generating PET Images — Without the Radiation
