AI-Based Biomarker Uses CT Scans to Predict Immunotherapy Response for Lung Cancer Patients
Researchers have discovered a new artificial intelligence (AI)-derived biomarker that uses routine imaging scans to help predict which patients with lung cancer will respond to immunotherapy. The findings not only offer guidance for patients and their physicians making treatment decisions, but can also curtail the financial burden associated with immunotherapy. More...06 Jan 2023

Real-Time 3D Imaging Provides First-of-Its-Kind View of X-Rays Hitting Inside Body During Radiation Therapy
Radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can now be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging. By capturing and amplifying tiny sound waves created when X-rays heat tissues in the body, medical professionals can map the radiation dose within the body, giving them new data to guide treatments in real time.

New Imaging Technique Could Measure Absorbed Dose from Radiation Therapy
Using a novel low-count quantitative single photon emission computed tomography (LC-QSPECT), researchers plan to build a computational framework from which to measure the concentration of the radiopharmaceutical material. Scans with this technology will allow the team to measure the concentration of the radiopharmaceutical activity in the tumor and the various radio-sensitive organs of the body. More...16 Dec 2022
