State of the art advances in breast imaging: the Twente Photoacoustic Mammoscope
Thirty-three breast malignancies were examined with the advanced prototype of the ‘Twente Photoacoustic Mammoscope (PAM)’ in order to understand the in vivo performance of this method and channel further research and development, since patient data for this technique...
Various techniques for the assessment of myocardial ischemia and infarction with dynamic CTP: does it correlate with SPECT and CMR?
This study examines whether myocardial blood flow (MBF) can be precisely assessed using dynamic CT perfusion (CTP) and whether the results correlate with cardiac MR or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in order to detect myocardial ischemia and...
MRI for peripheral trigeminal neuropathy
Seventeen patients were examined to find out how useful magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) is in the management of peripheral trigeminal neuropathies. The results were compared with clinical and surgical findings in operated patients and the effect on clinical...
Prostatic arterial embolisation: what is it good for?
This study examines the effect of prostatic arterial embolisation (PAE) on various prostate gland anatomical zones. The authors concluded that PAE can significantly decrease prostate volumes, and poor clinical outcomes are associated with smaller volume reductions....
Osteoid osteoma: a propensity score matching study
These authors have compared radiofrequency ablation and magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery for minimally invasive treatment of osteoid osteoma. They looked at outcomes in pain relief and motor functional recovery in osteoid osteoma patients. Key...
