Widespread use of PSA screening has dramatically impacted the landscape of prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Diagnostic transrectal, ultrasound-guided biopsies of the prostate have improved since their first descriptions, but fall short of offering accurate staging of disease needed to confidently ...
Using the above technique, biopsies were taken with low‐risk prostate cancer diagnosed. Subsequently, due to rising PSA levels, a repeat set of prostate biopsies was taken 13 months later in an identical manner, upstaging his disease. There were no post‐operative complications after any of ...
9,10,11]. The advancement of molecular pathology understanding has uncovered a plethora of opportunities for image-guided surgery. Targeting cancerous cells based on specific markers not only drives new precision
The histological grading of colorectal cancer is not only a reference basis for assessing its malignancy and staging, but also an important factor affecting its prognosis4. Histopathological image analysis is the gold standard for pathologists to grade colorectal cancers of different differentiation types...
Prostate cancer staging The diagnosis of prostate cancer is suggested by elevated prostate-specific antigen but is confirmed by histopathological examination of ultrasound-guided ... NJ Stephens,N Bharwani,SD Heenan - 《Imaging》 被引量: 2发表: 2008年 ...
Together with the novel development of combined PET/MRI, the combination of excellent morphological detail, multiparametric functional information, and molecular PET data might lead to a significant improvement in detection of prostate cancer. We present an exemplarily case of primary staging using ...
. Haptoglobin can be imaged with iodinated RM2-mab, originally developed for prostate cancer imaging29. RM2-mab was, to the best of our knowledge, never tested in dilated cardiomyopathy; yet, ROC analyses suggest a promising accuracy (Fig.4h). These results demonstrate how specific disease-...
335 Introduction Percutaneous needle biopsy is an integral part of cancer diagnosis and treatment. It is the first step in achieving the diagnosis.1 It helps in tumor staging because it provides pathologic confirmation of metastasis. Percutane- ous image biopsy-guided biopsies are minimally invasive,...
We report the results of a retrospective analysis of localized prostate cancer (LPCa) treated with transperineal ultrasound image-guided radiotherapy (TPUS-IGRT). Methods A total of 124 patients (median age: 74 y, 46–84 y) with LPCa who underwent TPUS-IGRT (Clarity Autoscan system; CAS, El...
Accurate fiber tip tracking is a critical clinical problem during endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of small perforating veins. Currently, ultrasound (US) imaging is the gold-standard modality for visualizing and for accurately placing the ablation fiber within the diseased vein. However, US imaging ...
