About Saturday Journey 🧲Pelvis MRI for a female 40years old 🧲 using GE SIGMA 1.5 TESLA 🏥 🔬 **The Importance of Using Vaginal Gel in Cervical Cancer Pelvis MRI** 🧬 💡 **Why is this important?** 1. **Enhanced Imaging**: Vaginal gel significantly improves the visualization of the cervix and surrounding structures, ensuring more accurate imaging. This enhanced clarity is crucial for detecting tumors and assessing their exact size and location. 2. **Accurate Diagnosis**: With better imaging quality, radiologists can provide more precise diagnoses, leading to more tailored and effective treatment plans for patients. 3. **Improved Patient Outcomes**: Early and accurate detection of cervical cancer can dramatically improve treatment success rates and patient survival. #CervicalCancer #PelvicMRI #MedicalImaging #Radiology #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #CancerDiagnosis #HealthTech #Oncology

As advocates for individuals with brain tumors, organizations like BTN gain a profound understanding of the impact of devastating diagnoses like GBM. Despite the urgency for treatment advancements, progress has been stagnant in recent years. OurBrainBank for Glioblastoma has teamed up with Forbes in a 3-article series to shed light on brain tumors, why medical advancements are faltering, and how we can unite to drive meaningful change.

Detecting breast cancer early is crucial. Common screening tests include mammography, clinical breast exams (CBE), breast self-exams (BSE) and breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Stay proactive about your breast health. #breastcancerawareness #cancerheal #mammography

To what extent can we, and should we, integrate artificial intelligence in the clinical diagnostic process? Whilst incorporating AI in breast cancer screening can increase efficiencies, there are real concerns about how this impacts working conditions and where the responsibility lies in AI-mediated decision making. Read on for recommendations about how we can address these challenges, and where the focus of future research and policy needs to be to ensure successful integration of AI in radiology, and beyond.

The Potential of Radiologial 3D Assessments A recent study by Rabea Sobirey et al. in European Radiology highlights the effectiveness of 3D assessments in evaluating tumor response to immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Other than RECIST and mRECIST, the 3D quantitative enhancement-based response assessment tool qEASL demonstrated predictive power regarding overall survival and effectively identified non-responders. The authors state that “[s]uch advancements will contribute to the refinement of therapeutic strategies and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with advanced HCC.” 👉 The full study can be found here: https://bit.ly/3y8p9CR #ClinicalResearch #HepatocellularCarcinoma #MedicalImaging

Ladies, let's talk self-care! A mammogram is more than just a test; it's a proactive step towards breast health.

This #MelanomaMonday, head over to Scholars in Medicine for a three-part video series on the surgical treatment of #melanoma. In the first lecture of this series, Dr. Kenneth Tanabe discusses the biopsy considerations for melanoma diagnosis, including when to perform an excisional versus an incisional biopsy. Dr. Tanabe provides an overview of tumor staging and guidelines for surgical margins. He also presents a series of images to illustrate reconstruction techniques.
