Johns Hopkins engineers have created a new optical tool that could improve cancer imaging. Their approach, called SPECTRA, uses tiny nanoprobes that light up when they attach to aggressive cancer ...

The new tool— combining Raman spectroscopy and machine learning—introduces the Ramanome-based Metastasis Index (RMI), offering an innovative means of diagnosing and managing cancer.

MR spectroscopy compared with DW-MRI and DCE-MRI at 3-tesla for the noninvasive prediction of short-term radiation response for patients with localized ... A randomized phase II study of OGX-427 plus ...

October 3, 2007 — Researchers say their work is adding weight to the argument that magnetic resonance spectroscopy should be added to routine breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. "This ...

Concordance of FDG-PET scan and MRI- spectroscopy in primary and metastatic intracranial tumors. JCO 22 , 1551-1551 (2004). DOI: 10.1200/jco.2004.22.90140.1551 ...

This guideline covers diagnosing, monitoring and managing any type of primary brain tumour or brain metastases in people aged 16 or over. It aims to improve diagnosis and care, including standardising ...

May 7, 2003 — Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was better than scintigraphy or positron emission tomography (PET) for whole body detection of skeletal metastases, according to the results of a ...

Raman spectroscopy is already used in neurosurgery, but in a more invasive and less precise manner. "Studies have been conducted on its use during brain tumor surgery in patients," Valiente notes.

The team found that, unlike CT or MRI scans that can indicate the presence of a tumor but not the specific molecular signatures that can alert physicians to current or impending metastasis, SPECTRA ...
