Tumors' response to hormone therapy may be a biomarker for personalization of breast radiotherapy

How estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer responds to hormone therapy may hold keys to understanding how it will respond to radiation therapy, and an experimental drug that increases the effectiveness of hormone therapy also overcomes radiation resistance in breast cancer, a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.

Using intravascular imaging to visualize narrowed coronary arteries improves outcomes after stenting

Patients with complex coronary artery disease who underwent a stenting procedure guided by intravascular imaging were nearly 40% less likely to die of heart disease, have a heart attack caused by a new blockage in the treated artery or need a repeat stenting procedure in the treated artery, compared with similar patients who underwent a standard angiography-guided stenting procedure, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology.

Analysis provides new insights into complex effects of Alzheimer’s disease on the retina

Cedars-Sinai investigators have produced the most extensive analysis to date of changes in the retina - a layer of tissue at the back of the eye where visual information originates - and how those retinal changes correspond to brain and cognitive changes in Alzheimer's disease patients.

New ghost imaging algorithm produces higher-resolution image reconstruction with better contrast

Although electron microscopy can already reveal details as small as one nanometer, ongoing research seeks to break through barriers limiting image quality and reducing the optical dose on the samples. Aberration is a common problem in electron microscopy that can reduce the resolution and quality of the images produced.

Deep learning–based method can accurately detect Alzheimer’s disease based on data from brain MRIs

Although investigators have made strides in detecting signs of Alzheimer's disease using high-quality brain imaging tests collected as part of research studies, a team at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) recently developed an accurate method for detection that relies on routinely collected clinical brain images.

Existing CT scans estimate hardened fatty plaque deposits in the heart's largest blood vessels

Instead of special heart scans, physicians can use images of the chest captured months earlier, and for other reasons, to estimate patients' risk of heart attack or death during several kinds of major surgeries, a new study shows.
