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.

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 ...

Methods: Between 01/2008 and 04/2010, 34 patients with a localized prostate cancer (T1-T3, N0) were prospectively enrolled in the ERIS trial. All patients underwent high dose IMRT with or without long ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Combining magnetic resonance (MR)-guided focused ultrasound with microbubbles and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) could transform non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment by reducing ...

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 ...
