An ultrafast MRI-based radiomics model performs just as well as standard MRI and isnt dependent on radiologist experience, according to research published January 25 in La Radiologia Medica. A team led by Bo Kyoung Seo, MD, PhD, from Korea University in Ansan City, South Korea, found that the ultrafast MRI radiomics model successfully classified hormone receptors, HER2 status, and molecular subtypes on par with standard MRIs performance.

Researchers have designed process that uses ultrasound to modify the behavior of cancer-fighting T cells by increasing their cell permeability. They targeted freshly isolated human immune cells with tightly focused ultrasound beams and clinically approved contrast agent microbubbles. When hit with the ultrasound, the bubbles vibrate at extremely high frequency, acting as a push-pull on the walls of the T cell's membranes.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.

A number of years ago, in a small British hospital that must remain nameless, there were two notorious radiologists. They were notorious in that they were inferior performers in an otherwise sound radiology department. Not quite bad enough to be dangerous but definitely subpar. Both were quite erratic in their radiology reports and became well-known for this.
