Soccer heading may cause brain damage similar to that seen in neurodegenerative diseases, with repeated impacts linked to structural abnormalities and cognitive decline even without concussions, according to a new study.
A UCLA study found that MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer significantly reduces long-term urinary, bowel, and sexual side effects, improving quality of life compared to CT-guided treatment.
A new study shows peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for advanced meningiomas, achieving a 57% disease control rate and offering hope for relapsed cases with minimal side effects.
University of California, San Francisco researchers developed a machine learning algorithm that enhances 3T MRI images to simulate 7T resolution, improving the detection of brain abnormalities like those in traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis.
