Over the past decade, several clinical studies have shown gadolinium-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents accumulate in tissues inside patients. This has raised concern because prolonged, elevated levels of gadolinium in the body may cause a nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with severe kidney disease. Adding to this concern were three studies in 2015, which raised new gadolinium safety concerns after it was found the agent also accumulates in the brain

A new study finds that immune response in prostate cancer may be able to forecast how patients will respond to radiation therapy, as well as their likelihood of disease recurrence and survival outcomes. The analysis of more than 9,000 prostate tumors also found evidence that PD-L2, not PD-L1, may provide a key route for targeted therapies, such as immunotherapy, to slow disease progression. Findings were presented at the 59th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), Sept. 24-27 in San Diego.

When it comes to breast imaging, mammography has long been the gold standard among breast cancer detection technologies. But as the cancer-masking effects and increased risks of dense fibroglandular breast tissue become better understood by both healthcare professionals and patients, mammography is no longer feasible as a one-size-fits-all approach to breast cancer screening. Radiologists of all subspecialties are also having to become more efficient as workloads continue to increase

Wide bore magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems have allowed radiologists to offer patients the optimized comfort of conventional open bore systems, as well as the high-quality imaging of conventional closed bore systems. Because wide bore MRIs have broadened the demographic of patients who can be tested, the systems have gained widespread adoption, with many practices opting to equip their offices solely with wide bore systems.
