The universe is full of surprises, and one of its biggest puzzles has finally been cracked. For a long time, scientists have known that ordinary matter, the stuff we can see and touch, makes up only a small part of the universe. But where is the rest of it? This question has baffled astronomers for
Medical history is crucial for accurate diagnoses. Yet, it's often missing in CT scan orders for the abdomen or abdomen/pelvis. This gap can lead to incomplete radiology reports. So, a study looked into how often malignancy history is documented in these CT scan orders. It also checked if this histo
Breast cancer patients often face a tough decision after a mastectomy: should they opt for conventional or hypofractionated radiation therapy? This question has been the subject of recent studies. The focus is on the risks of secondary cancers in the opposite breast and the same-side lung. This i
Liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a serious health issue worldwide. It is the most common type of liver cancer in adults and often leads to death in people with cirrhosis. Traditional treatments, like chemotherapy, come with many unwanted side effects. This has led resear
A man's life ended in a tragic way after a tense standoff that lasted over two days. The man, whose name has not been revealed, was dealing with a mental health struggle. He climbed a radio tower on the American University campus. This tower, which is about 321 feet tall, is used by WAMU-FM. He was
A new method of treating a type of eye cancer is being tested. This cancer is called choroidal malignant melanoma. It grows in the eye's choroid layer. The treatment uses carbon-ion radiotherapy with a rotating beam. This approach was started in March 2018 at a hospital in Japan. The goal was to see
Cancer has become a significant health concern in the Philippines, ranking as the third leading cause of death. This stark reality highlights the urgent need for effective cancer treatments, particularly radiotherapy. However, the availability of these treatments varies greatly across different regi
Radiation therapy has come a long way. It now delivers precise and tailored treatments. But there's a catch. Doctors face hurdles in achieving high-resolution measurements. They also struggle with covering large areas and getting consistent results. This often means using several different tools to
The brain is a complex puzzle. Scientists have developed a clever way to piece it together. They use a tool called dynamic PET. This tool helps them understand how different parts of the brain work. It does this by tracking special substances, called radiotracers. These tracers light up areas o
Radiation treatment for prostate cancer has always been tricky. The way radiation beams interact with the body is complex. This makes planning the treatment tough. That is where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in. AI has made treatment planning much faster. However, current AI methods have some p
