Finding new molecular biomarkers could help improve the diagnosis and treatment of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). A recent study in Italy compared quantitative parameters obtained from computed tomography texture analysis and microRNAs expression profile of ccRCC looking for correlation between them. Results of this pilot study indeed...Read more

Even though systemic haemodynamic variables may be normalised, there could be regions with inadequate regional oxygenation at the tissue level. The most recent developments of noninvasive monitoring of the peripheral circulation have helped physicians to early identify patients at high risk for tissue hypoperfusion, organ failure and poor outcome....Read more

Loyola University Medical Centre is the first hospital to offer a new and noninvasive technology to test for coronary artery disease. The technology offered by the centre uses noninvasive CT scans and calculates the amount of blood that flows through diseased coronary arteries that have narrowed due to plaque buildup. The procedure is completely...Read more

A recent study has found that patients with lung cancer could benefit from a high-tech, noninvasive imaging analysis called quantitative computed tomography based texture analysis (QTA). The new method was shown to be a safe alternative to surgical biopsy, which can be dangerous for lung cancer patients. QTA has the ability to non-invasively detect...Read more
