Marric Stephens[email protected]Clinical NewsCT-based radiomics reveals prostate cancer riskUsing machine learning, U.K. and Dutch researchers have developed prediction models to identify textural and intensity-based features imperceptible to human observers, and to associate them with commonly used measures of disease progression in prostate cancer.September 5, 2019Clinical NewsGermans use spectroscopy to cut beam-range uncertaintyGerman scientists are convinced that measuring the energy of gamma rays emitted during helium-ion radiotherapy can provide real-time verification of the beam's range in the patient. They have shown how to define the size of the range error in particle therapy, allowing more precise treatments with greater sparing of healthy tissue.July 4, 2019Clinical NewsDual-energy CT for proton therapy planning reaches clinicGerman researchers have introduced a technique for more accurate proton therapy planning into routine clinical use. They are implementing a novel, patient-specific method of proton range prediction based on dual-energy CT.June 13, 2019Clinical NewsDual detector combines nuclear and fluoroscopic imagingDutch researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of using a flat-panel x-ray detector combined with a gamma camera to allow simultaneous acquisition of fluoroscopic and nuclear images. The instrument could provide clinicians with anatomical information not currently available using nuclear imaging alone.February 14, 2019Page 1 of 1Top StoriesHealth EquityResolution on imaging access awaits World Health Assembly approvalThe WHO board has adopted the Strengthening Medical Imaging resolution and it now looks set for approval by the World Health Assembly.
