Altered brain structure may play a role in eating disorders, MRI data suggest

Experts recently uncovered evidence suggesting  behaviors such as undereating, binging and purging could be owed to anatomical alterations in parts of the brain. 

breast cancer screening mammography

Commercially available AI increases breast cancer detection by nearly 20%

Results from the world’s largest prospective artificial intelligence study revealed the system could significantly benefit breast cancer screening programs.

Sentinel axillary lymph node injected with tattoo ink via ultrasound guidance

Tattoo ink a promising option for localizing sentinel axillary lymph nodes

In some cases, the method even helps to home in on sentinel nodes that may not have been identified during prior biopsy.

For the first time, researchers find a way to spot early signs of pancreatic cancer on routine MRI

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, with a five-year survival rate of only 44% if caught early, dropping down to 3% if it metastasizes. This is largely due to its ability to elude detection.

How opioid use disorder affects brain size and function

The CDC estimates that over 6 million people in the U.S. struggle with OUD, and prior research has indicated that only 20% receive treatment for the disorder.

Non-enhancing asymmetries on contrast-enhanced mammography

Is additional imaging necessary for non-enhancing asymmetries on contrast-enhanced mammograms?

Patients with asymmetries on CEM typically are recalled for additional views, ultrasound and occasionally MRI. But the extra workup might not be necessary.
