Developed by a research consortium, the new treatment system will be launched in 2017, with the first units delivered a year later.January 28, 2015Clinical NewsUltrasound, MRI line up for 4D radiotherapyThe recent 4D Treatment Planning Workshop examined how ultrasound and MRI can be used to help deliver radiotherapy of moving and deforming targets. One area examined in detail was the use of imaging for monitoring motion during treatment and reoptimizing the plan accordingly.December 25, 2014Molecular ImagingMultifunctional microbubble agents display clinical promiseMultifunctional microbubble agents are showing great potential for medical applications, particularly superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, which are used as MRI contrast agents but can be combined with encapsulated microbubbles and provide ultrasound contrast.November 20, 2014Molecular ImagingDual-energy CT develops greater role in brachytherapyA group of Canadian and Dutch researchers has developed a brachytherapy dosimetry method that accounts for dose heterogeneity. They have used dual-energy CT to extract these parameters, and the treatment is proving valuable in early stage prostate or breast cancer.October 9, 2014Clinical NewsBeyond cancer: Novel radiotherapy targetsRadiation therapy is a mainstay treatment for a wide range of cancers. But, according to German researchers, radiotherapy could also prove promising for treating conditions such as atrial fibrillation or hypertension.August 13, 2014Clinical NewsDutch use registration scheme to tackle 'missing structures'Adding a geometrical penalty term to a nonrigid registration algorithm allows registration of structurally dissimilar medical images, according to new research from Utrecht in the Netherlands.July 31, 2014Previous PagePage 6 of 10Next PageTop StoriesMRIMRI shows how brain maintains 'representation' of phantom limbsFunctional MRI has revealed how the brain preserves its sense of lost limbs, a team from a top London research facility has reported.MRIGadolinium in ... beer?Artificial IntelligenceBeyond the algorithm: Embedding AI into imaging workflowsRadiology EducationUkrainian radiologists train, collaborate throughout warMRICE MRI-based radiomics model captures DEB TACE-induced tumor changes
