Beta-amyloid plaque progression is pinned to arterial stiffness

The ongoing deposition of beta-amyloid in the aging brain is related to central arterial stiffness, according to a study published online March 31 in JAMA Neurology.

Promising biomarker predicts survival during chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma

An association between intraprocedural tumor perfusion reduction during chemoembolization and transplant-free survival (TFS) implicates the utility of transcatheter intraarterial perfusion (TRIP) MRI-measured tumor perfusion reduction as an intraprocedural imaging biomarker during chemoembolization, according to a study published March 28 in Radiology.

Y-90 radioembolization effectively treats metastatic breast cancer

Breast cancer metastases that have spread to the liver have been found to be treated successfully with yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization, which led to stabilized disease in 98.5 percent of liver tumors, according to procedings of the Society of Interventional Radiology's 39th Annual Scientific Meeting held March 22-27 in San Diego.

Recall and biopsy rates reduced with digital mammography

Population-based screening with full-field digital mammography (FFDM) has demonstrated an association with lower recall and biopsy rates than screen film mammography (SFM), intimating that FFDM could reduce the number of diagnostic workups and biopsies that don’t result in breast cancer diagnoses, according to a study published April 1 by Radiology.
