In patients with head and neck cancer, a strategy to reduce the radiation dose to dysphagia-and aspiration-related structures improved swallowing and other functional outcomes compared with standard intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), according to results from the phase III DARS trial.

Mepitel film, a transparent, breathable, adhesive soft silicone film dressing, is more effective than standard of care in preventing acute radiation dermatitis in at-risk breast cancer patients, a phase III randomised trial showed.

The technique, demonstrated on a small sample in a micro CT scanner, could potentially be adapted for medical scanners and used to reduce the amount of radiation millions of people are exposed to each year. A computerised tomography (CT) scan is a form of X-ray that creates very accurate cross-sectional views of the inside of...

Traditionally, men with low-risk prostate cancer had undergone radical prostatectomy or radiation, but many are now opting for a more conservative active surveillance approach. Matt O'Connor | Oncology Imaging | Health Imaging

A new study has found wide variation in radiation dose levels used for CT scans, potentially exposing patients to unnecessary radiation. | AuntMinnie.com | By Philip Ward, staff writer

An AI tool improved the primary gross tumor contouring accuracy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), according to a March 26 study published in Radiology. The method may help treat patients with the rare form of cancer. Health Imaging | Matt O'Connor | Artificial Intelligence

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities in cancer management, often used in combination with other treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy. Approximately 40% of cancer cures are attributed to radiotherapy. Read the full report now

In PET imaging, the amount of radiotracer dose correlates with the level of image quality. But what if artificial intelligence (AI) could enable PET to be performed using only 1% of current dose levels -- speeding exam times, decreasing radiation exposure, lowering costs, and alleviating shortages in radiotracers?
