Addition of the contrast agent gadolinium during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for primary tumor assessment improved accuracy for detecting lymph node metastases, according to a new study. Addition ...

Detection of tumor spread to lymph nodes is crucial to provide the best treatment to patients with cancer. Current imaging methods used for detecting lymph node metastases, however, are unreliable.

Magnetic resonance imaging is a radiation-free imaging method and may be an attractive alternative diagnostic modality to CT and/or FDG-PET (Table 1). In contemporary diagnostic imaging protocols for ...

MR provides information about the resonance of populations of nuclei. (For overviews, see standard MRI textbooks such as Edelman et al 4 and Stark and Bradley. 5) These resonances are influenced by ...

A novel shortened MRI protocol achieved 100% detection of malignant lesions in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), while reducing the scan time by more than 50%. The abbreviated protocol ...

If you’ve ever felt swelling on the side of your neck, you probably had swollen glands, also known as swollen lymph nodes. Doctors call it lymphadenopathy. Swollen lymph nodes are a sign that your ...

The evolutionary processes underlying metastasis-the development of secondary malignant growths away from the primary tumor site-in human patients are still incompletely understood. Metastases can ...

Involved (left), suspicious (centre) and normal (right) lymph nodes, shown here in CT (top) and PET/CT (bottom) images, must be correctly identified to enable to best possible treatment of ...
