MRI and CT Predicts Flap Failure After Head and Neck Reconstructive Cancer Surgery
When a patient with head and neck cancer has surgery to remove it, they often need reconstructive surgery in the form of a “free flap”, which is skin and tissue taken from a different part of the body and connected to the blood vessels of the wound in need of repair. Now, a study has found that early postoperative CT scans and MRIs can help predict whether a flap will fail, which could allow surgeons to intervene earlier. More...24 Jun 2022



MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound Controls Prostate Cancer with Fewer Side Effects
A landmark clinical trial has demonstrated that an advanced focal therapy approach and less-invasive method known as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), guided by MRI, works well for many prostate cancer patients. More...16 Jun 2022



Non-Invasive Tests for Diagnosing Liver Diseases Could Shape Future Clinical Care
Recent studies have focused on exploring non-invasive tests for NAFLD, NASH, and fibrosis, for clinical applications. Now, researchers have collated recent developments in NAFLD assessment and analyzed the benefits and limitations of the new methods in a review made available online. More...03 Jun 2022
