A new study reveals that only about 1 in 3 patients with prostate cancer have a successful first CT simulation, while 1 in 6 need to be rescheduled for another day.

The IAEA is launching a year-long coordinated research project to develop computed tomography-based guidelines on prostate cancer contouring — a critical step in the cancer treatment process that ...

Using MRI instead of CT guidance to zero in on prostate tumors enables more precise delivery of SBRT and lowers side effect rates. MRI vs CT guidance reduces side effects from prostate cancer ...

Jeff Silva walked into his CT scan appointment at Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton looking for answers. A biopsy and MRI had recently diagnosed his prostate cancer, and his doctors had ordered a CT ...

A team of researchers in Australia and New Zealand has found that MRI scans can detect prostate cancer more accurately than the newer, prostate-specific -PSMA PET/CT scanning technique. The findings ...

Preparation guidelines for a CT scan depend on the type of scan you’re having. If you’re having a bowel scan or a scan with contrast dye, you may need to adjust your diet. Preparation for a CT scan ...

Computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are two types of imaging procedures. They both create detailed images of the internal body structures. While CT scans use X-rays to ...

A twist on magnetic resonance imaging that does not require gadolinium contrast appears to be as effective as standard imaging at detecting prostate cancers, according to a new study in JAMA. Experts ...

Biparametric MRI, which omits dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences, similarly detected clinically significant prostate cancer to multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI was also noninferior to ...

The REIMAGINE study, published today in BMJ Oncology, is the first study to use MRI scans with prostate specific antigen (PSA) density to assess the need for further standard NHS tests. Of the 29 ...
