Adding "chemical shift" techniques to MRI can help differentiate clear cell renal cell carcinoma from other types of renal cell cancer, a new study shows. That differentiation can help physicians ...

In a world first, University of Ottawa scientists have introduced a metal-free MRI dye capable of mapping kidney function with unprecedented accuracy. This technique will modernize urology, allow for ...

Scientists have uncovered how lymphatic vessels—the kidney's "plumbing system"—undergo dramatic changes during chronic transplant rejection, becoming structurally disorganized and spreading to unusual ...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major public health challenge affecting more than 10% of people. A key challenge for effective treatment is early identification of patients that are at risk of CKD ...

U.S.-based researchers examined the burden of imaging in a population of patients with ADPKD, versus that of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). People with ADPKD underwent more abdominal ...

Conventional imaging studies such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly detecting small renal masses, which are interpreted by radiologists as highly ...

SAN FRANCISCO — A novel, noninvasive method was able to accurately and noninvasively identify clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC,), and shows promise for differentiating indeterminant renal masses, say ...

The standardized non-invasive clear cell likelihood score (ccLS) -- derived from MRI -- correlates with the growth rate of small renal masses and may help guide personalized management. According to ...

If she knew then what she knows now, Sarah Fracella would not have undergone an MRI. “I don’t think there’s been a day in the last, probably, two years that’s gone by that I haven’t cried at least ...

Combining PSA density with prostate MRI findings improves the predictive performance of PI-RADS in men without a prior prostate cancer diagnosis. Combining PSA density (PSAD) with prostate magnetic ...
