The benefits that texture analysis and radiomics have shown already, and the improved availability of large data sets led to an increased interest in the extraction of quantitative features from medical images. Through quantification, images are converted into mineable data that, subsequently analyzed, improve diagnostic…
Today, it is generally agreed that standardized language used in radiology reports improves communication with the treatment team and patients, with a huge impact on decision making and patient outcomes. Furthermore, using standardized forms to create consistent reports, helps to save time and effort while…
In a multidisciplinary center that networks medical research, natural sciences, engineering sciences, computer science and business administration, in the Research Campus M²OLIE (“Mannheim Molecular Intervention Environment”) new methods are developed for molecular imaging, diagnostics and therapeutic intervention of oligometastatic patients in daily clinical practice. …
In a retrospective study [1], a team from Royal Marsden in London and Sutton explored changes of CT texture analysis metrics in unresectable liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with Cetuximab monotherapy. “Targeted therapy is nowadays widely used in many oncological…
From my initial experience with mint Lesion software, and over the 3 months I have been using it, I have been pleased with the software and come to depend on it. Assessing tumor response to therapy involves a myriad of details that are distinct…
Funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and sponsored by Imperial College London, the MROC study boasts impressive figures: 645 women with suspected or confirmed ovarian cancer (over 400 recruited to date), 18 patient recruitment sites across UK and 4 additional external review…
According to researchers, every adult makes 35,000 decisions each day. While there are no numbers in literature about how many decisions a radiologist must make to complete a radiological read, each radiological read poses specific skill requirements, complexity, and an enormous number of decisions to…
Structured Reporting in Radiology can set a new bar in quality, completeness, and visual appeal of radiological reports. With structured reporting, you also have a rich data source for research, Artificial Intelligence learning, and evidence-based clinical decision support. Traditionally, there is a separation of…
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, and there are now effective treatments for the disease. New therapies available on the market for treating prostate-cancer metastasis can improve symptoms and prolong life. However, these drugs are often cost-prohibitive. Hence, in order to…
Traditionally medical image analysis has been done through visual interpretation of static images. In the past decade, with the advent of sophisticated measurement tools, it has become possible to convert simple digital images into data mines which contain first, second and higher-order statistics. When administered…
