A new ultrasound system that uses optical, instead of electronic components, could improve performance while giving doctors significantly more flexibility in how they use ultrasound to diagnose and treat medical problems.
PET tracer identifies estrogen receptor expression differences in breast cancer patients
Source: Science Daily
In metastatic breast cancer, prognosis and treatment is largely influenced by estrogen receptor (ER) expression of the metastases. However, little is known about ER expression across metastases throughout the body and surrounding normal tissue. Using a PET tracer, researchers have been able to identify differences in ER expression, which could help guide treatment for metastatic breast cancer patients.

In metastatic breast cancer, prognosis and treatment is largely influenced by estrogen receptor (ER) expression of the metastases. However, little is known about ER expression across metastases throughout the body and surrounding normal tissue. Using a PET tracer, researchers have been able to identify differences in ER expression, which could help guide treatment for metastatic breast cancer patientsResearchers have for the first time been able to use information from computer tomography images to simulate the heart function of an individual patient. Some of the modeling methods they use have been developed in the motor industry.

Breast cancer follow-up imaging varies widely, study finds
Source: Science Daily
Follow-up imaging for women with non-metastatic breast cancer varies widely across the country, according to a new study. Some patients go without the annual mammograms that experts recommend, while others with the same cancer diagnosis receive full-body scans that expose them to significant amounts of radiation and are not recommended by experts.
