Retinal imaging goes high resolution

Age-related macular degeneration affects 26% of Europeans over 60, but its early signs are hard to detect. Swiss researchers have developed a technique that makes it possible to observe the retinal cells involved in the disease in vivo.

Magnetized molecules monitor breast cancers

A new technique that uses hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI to monitor the metabolism of different types of breast cancer can identify how rapidly a tumor is growing, U.K. researchers report. The approach could help doctors prescribe the best course of treatment and follow how patients respond.

Human protein-based nanoprobes for MRI

An international team of researchers is reporting on the first-ever human protein-based tumor-targeting MRI contrast agent. The biohybrid composite, which can also be easily cleared by the body, could be used to detect tumors in their early stages, thanks to its enhanced MRI contrast and shorter proton relaxation time.

Small fluorescent dye eases NIR-II imaging

Researchers are reporting on the first small-molecule fluorescent dye for "near-infrared-II" (NIR-II) imaging. The dye, which is rapidly excreted by the body, could be used to image tumors in vivo and for image-guided surgery and therapy (Nature Materials, 23 November 2015).

Lung cancer screening: How Croatia does it

Example case from test set with biparametric MRI data, reference segmentation, and output from AI system. The primary MRI assessment resulted in a PI-RADS 5 lesion in the left dorsal part of the peripheral zone and a PI-RADS 4 lesion in the right dorsal part of the peripheral zone (PSA of 11.6 μg/L). Targeted biopsies from both areas showed ISUP-grade 3. All images are from the same slice location, showing a part of both lesions. A T2-weighted (T2W) image. B Diffusion-weighted image with a b-value of 1,500 s/mm2. (C) Apparent diffusion coefficient map. (D) Reference segmentation with white areas representing tumor. (E) Softmax output from AI system. Inset in the lower left corner shows the detection map (cropped around the prostate) with red voxels representing softmax values of 0.99 and yellow voxels representing softmax values of 0.59. (F) T2W image with reference (D) and detection map (inset in E) overlayed, green represents areas in which both the reference and the AI output are positive (true positive voxels for AI), red only positive in reference (false-negative voxels for AI) and blue only segmented by AI (false-positive voxels for AI).

Postoperative 3D volume rendering of the fenestrated endograft reconstruction: 3D volume-rendered reconstruction obtained in Horos using the standard soft-tissue preset. The image displays the postoperative appearance of the fenestrated endograft and visceral stents, extending from the descending thoracic aorta to the iliac bifurcation, acquired during the follow-up CT angiogram one month after the procedure. The reconstruction shows patent visceral branches with well-perfused stents, absence of endoleak, and successful restoration of the previously disconnected left limb with adequate iliac perfusion.
