Precision Surgical Technique Enables Lymph Node Detection and Removal in Endometrial Cancer
Researchers have shown that it is possible to detect and accurately remove metastatic lymph nodes during endometrial cancer surgery using a fluorescent contrast agent along with a laparoscopic fluorescence imaging system. More...15 Oct 2024


Diagnostic Algorithm Distinguishes Between Alzheimer’s and Primary Tauopathy Using PET Scans
Researchers have found biomarkers that enable doctors to reliably distinguish the two conditions—albeit only with data from a particular imaging technique called positron emission tomography (PET). More...13 Sep 2024

Radiology Test Non-Invasively Diagnoses Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated AKI
A study exploring the use of a nuclear imaging technique to identify immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury without invasive biopsies, has shown that such patients exhibit significantly higher levels of radioactively labeled glucose in the kidneys compared to those with AKI from other causes.
