Any research coming out of the prestigious Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm is worth a close look, so make sure you don't miss our news report about the use of MRI to screen people with a family history of pancreatic cancer. The authors believe this can reduce costs, increase availability, and guarantee the safety of the individuals under surveillance. Get the details here.
Also from Scandinavia, we have an article about how CT texture analysis is showing promising results in predicting outcomes prior to liver resection. To view the article by Dr. Anselm Schulz of Oslo University Hospital, click here.
Growth in point-of-care applications, workhorse solutions, and cost-efficiency dominate trends in the ultrasound sector, but premium systems still have a key place in the market, according to business analyst Nicola Goatman. To learn more, click here.
