Clinicians Map Group At High Risk For Aggressive, 'Hidden' Prostate Cancer

Clinical researchers at Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) can now answer the question that baffles many clinicians why do some men with elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels who are carefully monitored and undergo repeated negative biopsies still develop aggressive prostate cancer? The answer is hidden tumours located on the top of the prostate that evade traditional diagnostic procedures, including ultrasound-guided needle biopsy.

Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging Proves Cost-Effective For Pre-Surgical Planning Of Patients With Known Cancer Diagnosis

Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI), a molecular breast imaging technique with comparable sensitivity to breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting breast carcinoma when used in pre-surgical planning for patients with known cancer diagnoses and is substantially less expensive than MRI, according to findings presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Breast Cancer Symposium in San Francisco, California.

ProUroCare Medical Completes Multiple Site Clinical Study For Imaging Prostate Abnormalities

ProUroCare Medical, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PUMD and PUMDU) announced the completion of a National Institute of Health and National Cancer Institute-supported clinical study. The study's purpose was to evaluate the ability of the company's ProUroScan imaging system to visualize and document abnormalities in the prostate detected or monitored by the digital rectal exam (DRE). The results of the clinical study will be submitted to the U.S.

Detection Of Ultra-Low Concentrations Of Cancers And Other Clinical Targets

A new technique in Magnetic Resonance Imaging dubbed "Hyper-SAGE" has the potential to detect ultra low concentrations of clincal targets, such as lung and other cancers. Development of Hyper-SAGE was led by one of the world's foremost authorities on MRI technology, Alexander Pines, a chemist who holds joint appointments with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California, Berkeley.

United Hayek Set To Radically Change The MRI Landscape; Much Cheaper MRI Scans To Come

United Hayek Industries announced the release of a new device, The Hayek MRI-RTX, making MRI scans significantly cheaper using synchronized respiratory and cardiac motion. The new device allows coronary MRAs to be performed in half the scan time with higher navigator efficiency. This will allow many people to undergo MRA Imaging at a significantly reduced cost, and allow insurance companies to screen insurance candidates very cost effectively.
