MRI Restriction-Spectrum Imaging Guides Biopsy for Optimized Brain Cancer Diagnosis
Neurosurgeons have, for the first time, combined real-time magnetic resonance imaging technology with innovative noninvasive cellular mapping techniques to develop a new biopsy tool that increases the accuracy of diagnosis for brain cancer patients. More...15 May 2014

CT in the Operating Room Allows More Accurate Removal of Small Lung Tumors
A new technique that employs computed tomography imaging in the operating room should allow surgeons to effectively delineate and remove small, sub-centimeter lung nodules, leaving as much healthy tissue as possible. More...15 May 2014

Breath Analysis Provides Same Sensitivity, Twice the Specificity of PET Imaging Identifying Early Lung Cancer
Researchers are using breath analysis to detect the presence of lung cancer. Earlier research indicates that this promising noninvasive application offers the same sensitivity of PET scanning, and has nearly twice the specificity of PET for distinguishing patients with benign lung disease from those with early stage cancer.
