What's new in noninvasive detection of skin cancer?
Researchers from Israel have developed and tested a fiberoptic evanescent wave spectroscopy system that can noninvasively identify and characterize skin cancers. They successfully identified cancerous lesions on patients' skin by touching the suspicious regions for 30 seconds with an optical fiber connected to a mid-infrared spectrometer.

Deep learning enables automatic radiotherapy planning
A multi-institutional team has developed an automated treatment planning system for intensity-modulated radiation therapy based on 3D dose prediction and dose distribution-based optimization. The researchers demonstrated that the deep-learning-based method shows promise for generating highly individualized radiotherapy plans optimized for precision and quality.

Dutch develop novel 3D method to track central airways
A group from Amsterdam has examined conebeam CT projections of a 3D-printed thorax phantom and used prototype software for template generation, template matching, and triangulation to determine bronchus motion. They think markerless 3D monitoring can help in radiotherapy.
