Ultrasound Findings May Bolster Indication for Parathyroidectomy
The presence of parathyroid nodules suggests worse bone metabolic profiles in patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Stone Management Using Ultrasonography Alone Falls Short
Compared with computed tomography, ultrasonography demonstrated low sensitivity and overestimated the stones 10 mm or less in size.
Prostate Multiparametric MRI Feasible for PCa Screening
Adjusted odds ratio of prostate cancer significantly higher for MRI score than PSA.
Risk Factors for Abscess Formation in Acute Prostatitis Identified
Imaging studies should be considered for men who have long symptom duration and voiding disturbances associated with acute prostatitis, researchers say.
Smaller Renal Tumors Predict Longer Surgical Wait Times
Patients whose surgical wait time was 3 months or more versus less than 3 months had 10-fold increased odds of having a smaller tumor.
Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Plus MRI Identifies Undescended Testes
Authors say diagnostic laparoscopy not needed for inguinal testes or nubbins.
Cutting Radiation Exposure Still Yields Acceptable CT Quality
Image quality decreased, but nearly all scans were considered to be of acceptable diagnostic quality.
PET/CT Plus MRI May Aid Salvage Radiotherapy for Nodal Recurrent PCa
This approach is feasible and is associated with low acute and late toxicity.
MRI Predicts Prostate Cancer Death Risk After Prostatectomy
Preoperative magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI) may be useful in predictingprostate cancer-specific mortality(PCSM) after radical prostatectomy(RP), according to Korean researchers. Sungmin Woo, MD, and colleaguesat the Seoul National University studied318 patients who underwent MRI followedby RP. After a median follow-upof 104 months, 11 patients (3.5%) diedfrom prostate cancer. Of the 318 patients, 104(32.7%) had clinically significant canceron…
