An international study led by the Radboud University Medical Center has demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) can detect prostate cancer on MRI scans more effectively than radiologists, while also reducing false positives by half. The findings, published in The Lancet Oncology, mark a significant advancement in the use of AI…

Researchers from the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, drawing on a range of research studies of prostate cancer, report that a diagnostic approach combining both MRI with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density can help doctors avoid performing unnecessary prostate biopsies. The results, published last week in JAMA Network Open provides a new…

A team of French researchers has found that the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture (LP) may not always be necessary as a diagnostic tool to help doctors manage serious neurotoxicity related to CAR T-cell therapy. The study, published today in the journal Blood Advances, further validated…

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers at University College London (UCL) have conducted a clinical trial to use MRI scans with PSA (prostate specific antigen) to aid in prostate cancer screening and assess the need for additional testing. The research, published in BMJ Oncology, showed that of the 29 participants in…

Results from a study led by Yale School of Medicine show that functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans could help diagnose attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children more effectively than current methods. Statistics suggest that ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, impacting around six million under 18-year olds…

Using MRI scans and machine learning, a team led by University College of London (UCL) researchers has identified some risk factors for premature brain aging. They found that worse cardiovascular health at age 36 predicted a higher brain age later in life, while men also tended to have older brains…
