With worldwide cardiovascular deaths at an all-time high, European scientists have developed a new handheld scanner that can read the heart's vital signs like a supermarket barcode reader can scan items at the checkout. This would allow a general practitioner (GP) to diagnose even preclinical patients for the early onset of a disease.

News | Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

A new study from Roswell Park Cancer Institute reporting the findings of the first clinical trial to evaluate the immune effects of high-dose radiation therapy followed by surgery in patients with advanced kidney cancer may also set the stage for combination treatments with immunotherapy. The research, published in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), shows that nephrectomy can be effectively paired with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and also provides strong evidence that immunotherapy may be an effective third element to incorporate into this combination therapy strategy.

Feature | Breast Density | By Nancy M. Cappello, Ph.D.

Two decades of research on the masking risk of dense breast tissue by mammography screening is indisputable. As the density of the breast increases, the reliability of a mammogram to see, and in turn, detect breast cancer decreases. Additionally, since 1976, researchers have concluded that having dense breast tissue is also an independent risk factor for breast cancer. Unlike the masking risk, the extent of the causal risk of dense breast tissue has been fiercely debated in the literature and by healthcare professionals from having a slight, to moderate, to strong risk of developing breast cancer. Several studies conclude that having dense breast tissue is a larger risk than having a family history of the disease. According to the American Cancer Society, heterogeneously or extremely dense breast tissue (greater than 50 percent dense) confers a 2.1 to 4 times greater risk of breast cancer as compared to women with less dense breasts, similar to having one first-degree relative with breast cancer.

The radiology market is extremely fragmented, with more than 3,000 radiology practices in the United States1 and the average size being 10 radiologists per group.2 The biggest challenge many groups face is how to continue growing their practice volume in an increasingly complex and competitive healthcare environment. In addition, radiology groups continue to face key issues, including uncertainty about existing healthcare policy, reimbursement changes, healthcare reform and the complexity of standardized data reporting.
