CANCER TREATMENT CAN BE GRUELING, AND IT CAN ALSO MAKE FOR LONG DAYS. A NEW STUDY, THOUGH, SHOWS HIGHER DOSES OF RADIATION GIVEN OVER FEWER SESSIONS WAS AS EFFECTIVE AS BEING GIVEN LOWER DOSES OVER ...

The visual nature of head and neck cancer calls for treatment strategies that will minimize toxicities related to radiation therapy. Advances in precision radiation techniques, supportive care, and ...

August 13, 2007 (Durham, NC) - Standard scanning parameters for cardiac-gated multislice computed tomography (MSCT) angiography need to be optimized before the imaging test is widely used in children, ...

In definitive radiotherapy, reducing the elective dose from 50 Gy to 43 Gy was safe and did not significantly increase the risk for recurrence in electively irradiated lymph nodes among patients with ...

When it comes to determining acceptable radiation dose, a distinction needs to be made between small-, medium-, and large-field cone-beam CT (CBCT) scanners and protocols, according to a new study in ...

Growth is driven by the rising adoption of AI-enabled dose monitoring, value-based care initiatives, and the need to balance imaging volume with patient safety. Hospitals and imaging centers are ...

Radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging developed at the University of Michigan. By capturing and amplifying ...

Physicians can dramatically reduce the radiation dose delivered to patients undergoing coronary CT angiography in a "triple rule-out" protocol by simply using tube current modulation, according to a ...

Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy plus chemoradiotherapy offers a safe, effective bladder-sparing approach with promising long-term outcomes in nonmetastatic MIBC. Median disease-free survival ...

(Reuters) - A study suggests some younger Americans may be getting too many imaging tests that expose them to worrisome amounts of radiation, which over a lifetime may raise their risk of cancer. Here ...

Radiation therapy is highly effective at killing cancer cells, but it often harms healthy skin around the treatment area, a ...
