More than 46,000 visitors (73% international) from 150 countries attended MEDICA 2021 in person, exceeding expectations following last year’s live event cancelation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The four day event held from 15-18 November in Düsseldorf, Germany was extremely successful, according to the organisers.
Philips recently unveiled its vision for interventional medicine by bringing its breakthrough spectral CT imaging technology into a hybrid Angio CT suite. By combining the company’s Spectral CT 7500 system and its Image-Guided Therapy System – Azurion with FlexArm in a single interventional suite solution, Philips aims to give interventionalists immediate table-side access to these […]
Most countries have not introduced nationwide prostate-cancer screening, as current methods result in overdiagnoses and excessive and unnecessary biopsies. A new study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, which is published in The New England Journal of Medicine, indicates that screening by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted biopsies could potentially cut overdiagnoses by […]
A novel approach combining conventional white light with advanced photonics and optical imaging could help save up to 80,000 lives by helping doctors detect bowel cancer in the early stages.
Bone mineral density at the femoral neck bone in postmenopausal women decreased by an average of 10% during a 25-year follow-up, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. Being the world’s hitherto longest follow-up of changes in bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, the study shows that bone loss after menopause […]
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed an AI-based tool that improves the diagnosis of breast cancer tumours and the ability to predict the risk of recurrence. The greater diagnostic precision can lead to more personalised treatment for the large group of breast cancer patients with intermediate risk tumours. The results are published in […]
Clinical data obtained from 120,000 people will help women across Europe assess their lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. The BRIDGES project used this data to develop a tool able to combine various risk factors into a single risk-score. Peter Devilee, coordinator of the project on behalf of the Leiden Univerasity Medical Center (LUMC), discusses […]
By Nathan Langer/UPMC By coupling machine learning with whole genome sequencing, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Carnegie Mellon University scientists greatly improved the quick detection of infectious disease outbreaks within a hospital setting over traditional methods for tracking outbreaks.
Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning parts of a cell – a tumour is able to grow because a gene wasn’t accurately translated into a particular protein or a metabolic disease arises because mitochondria aren’t firing properly, for example. But to understand what parts of a cell can go wrong in a disease, […]
A new tool developed at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Norway and described in an article in Nature Neuroscience [1], predicts gaze direction and eye movement directly from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The goal is to make eye-tracking diagnostics a standard in brain imaging research and hospital clinics.
