A CT scan is often one of the first imaging tests done during the diagnostic process. While a CT scan alone isn’t enough to diagnose pancreatic cancer, it can provide images that help doctors ...
In a recent study published in the journal Radiology, researchers in Taiwan developed a deep learning (DL)–based computer-aided detection (CAD) tool to detect pancreatic cancer on contrast-enhanced ...
Apart from specialist treatment team referral, outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer can also be improved through holistic, multidisciplinary approaches. These include accurate, consistent, and ...
A study published in Gastroenterology finds that radiomics-based machine learning models may detect pancreatic cancer on prediagnostic CT scans substantially earlier than current methods for clinical ...
A small group of patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic carcinoma suffered no major ill effects -- pancreatitis or fistula formation -- after undergoing percutaneous CT-guided ...
Stereotactic radiation treatment planning with volumetric modulated arc therapy: Impact of duodenal sparing on pancreatic tumor coverage. Background: Our institution has reported a strategy of using ...
A: Gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an important tool for cancer staging because many treatment algorithms are determined by EUS tumor staging. Computed tomography (CT) scan should ...
