Potential Treatment For Cancer That Has Metastasized To Soft Tissues And Bones; Option For Those Who Are Not Candidates For Surgery

Cryotherapy, an interventional radiology treatment to freeze cancer tumors, may become the treatment of the future for cancer that has metastasized in soft tissues (such as ovarian cancer) and in bone tumors. Such patients are often not candidates for surgery and would benefit from minimally invasive treatment, said researchers at the [...]

Encouraging Interventional Radiology Potential Treatment For Breast Cancer With CryotherapyEncouraging Interventional Radiology Potential Treatment For Breast Cancer With Cryotherapy

Interventional radiologists have opened the door to an encouraging potential future treatment for the nearly 200,000 women who are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States each year: image-guided, multiprobe cryotherapy. In the first reported study, researchers were able to successfully freeze breast cancer in patients who refused surgery; [...]

Predicting Disease By Imaging Fat Layer Around HeartPredicting Disease By Imaging Fat Layer Around Heart

Imaging epicardial adipose tissue, or the layer of fat around the heart, can provide extra information compared with standard diagnostic techniques such as coronary artery calcium scoring, according to research by cardiologists at Emory University School of Medicine. The size of the layer of fat around the heart can be measured [...]

Uterine Fibroid Embolization Shows Fertility Rates Comparable To Myomectomy

Uterine fibroid embolization, a minimally invasive interventional radiology procedure that blocks blood supply to treat painful uterine fibroids, has a comparable fertility rate to myomectomy, the surgical removal of uterine fibroids, for women who want to conceive, according to the first study on the subject released at the Society of Interventional [...]

Energetic Quanta: Gamma-Rays

Energetic Quanta: Gamma-Rays

Gamma rays…

Are emitted from the nucleus to trim excess energy.
Tend to carry higher energies than X-rays, but this does not have to be the case

For example, after a larger energy decay particle (e.g. a beta particle) is emitted, the nucleus may still be slightly unstable (i.e., the atom [...]

Ultrasound lectures 13 (Adenexal Mass)

Adenexal Mass
Clinical
Typical clinical concerns are r/o ovarian cyst/mass/torsion, PID or appendicitis.

Longitudinal scan through the urine-filled bladder (B) demonstrates a normal adult uterus (red arrowheads) with smooth contours and pear shape.  The cervix (red arrow) is recognized at the junction of imaginary lines drawn though the long [...]
