The dominant sequence to detect prostate cancer in the peripheral zone is DWI, whereas for tumour detection in the transition zone T2w is the most important sequence. DCE-MRI has been attributed a minor role and only qualitative assessment with presence or absence of focal enhancement is ...
We explore techniques in positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), second generation harmonic Imaging (SGHI), ultrasound (US), radiomics, and artificial intelligence (AI). A new diagnostic imaging tool in PET/computed tomography (CT) is the use of radiolabeled ...
MRI became the method of choice for detection and staging of prostate cancer [8]. Adapted from breast imaging a “Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System” (PI-RADS) was published by the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR): PI-RADS™ version 1 [9] (PI-RADS™ v1). This...
“The MRI/ultrasound-guided transperineal approach allows easy access to anterior prostate tumors,” says Marc A. Bjurlin, DO, MSc, FACOS, in this video. In this interview,Marc A. Bjurlin, DO, MSc, FACOS,describes the ways in which MRI-guided biopsies can be performed. Bjurlin is an...

How is radiation administered to a patient? External beam radiation therapy is usually conducted usinga linear accelerator— a machine that directs high-energy beams of radiation into your body. As you lie on a table, the linear accelerator moves around you to deliver radiation from several angle...
that mpMRI is cost-effective. We don't suggest that mpMRI will completely replace the current ultrasound-biopsy method, but they are a powerful new diagnostic tool to the urologists in thediagnosisand treatment of prostate cancer. The next step is to take the system into the mainstream, which...
Although mastectomy is the standard treatment modality for breast cancer patients in Ethiopia, our previous study revealed that one in five patients do not receive the recommended procedure, half due to patient refusal or lack of returning to the hospita
[67]) or DROP-IN ultrasound (tracked via laparoscopic-video [68]). The most important advantage is the possibility of using in-depth information to improve registration results. However, it is limited to specific applications and organs where US is feasible (such as the prostate, kidney, ...
