New technique improves outcome for living donor liver transplants
The University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) is one of only a few centers in Canada that perform living donor liver transplantation, a surgical procedure developed in the late 1980s that expands the organ donor pool. About 80 liver transplants are done a year in Alberta, 10 of those being living-donor. view more (2008-03-19)
Researchers set benchmarks for screening mammography

File compression can expand mammography's power
When it comes to the information in a mammogram, Purdue scientists say less is more - and their findings could bring medical care to many far-flung communities. view more (2005-12-21)
Access to prior mammograms helps radiologists detect breast cancer
Viewing prior mammograms in association with current mammograms significantly improves radiologist performance and may decrease unnecessary recalls by up to 44 percent, according to a study in the January issue of Radiology. view more (2006-12-20)
MR imaging helps predict recurrence in prostate cancer patients
MR images taken of prostate cancer patients prior to treatment that show that the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland capsule help predict whether the cancer will return. view more (2007-05-07)
CT and ultrasound equally valuable in diagnosing pelvic pain in women
CT and ultrasound are both valuable first-line cross-sectional imaging tools to detect the cause of acute pelvic pain in non-pregnant women and the need for surgery in these patients, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Washington Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA. view more (2006-05-01)
Radiologic signs more than double sensitivity of MRIs

Gamma Knife offers non-invasive treatment for vascular disorders, tumors in the brain
A week after graduating from high school, Katherine Coit had brain surgery to remove an abnormal tangle of blood vessels that were bleeding in her brain. view more (2006-09-08)
Increase in the reliability of brain tumour diagnosis
A team of European researchers lead by Carles Ar'°s, professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have developed a system that facilitates the interpretation of magnetic resonance spectra of brain tumours and improves their diagnosis. It is a computer-based tool that... view more... (2004-02-09)
Breast cancer treatment procedure gives women more options
A new minimally invasive approach to partial breast irradiation provides another treatment option for women with breast cancer. The researchers presented their findings today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. view more (2006-11-30)
New mammography technology improves cancer detection
A new radiological diagnostic tool called stereo mammography allows clinicians to detect more lesions and could significantly reduce the number of women who are recalled for additional tests following routine screening mammography. view more (2007-11-29)
Technology can't replace doctors' judgment in reading mammograms
Radiologists should not become too dependent on the use of computer-assisted detection (CAD) technology when reading screening mammograms because the doctors can see lesions that CAD sometimes misses. view more (2006-12-05)
Breaking the medical image communication barrier
Using a new grid computing system, radiologists, physicians and pediatric oncologists at 40 hospitals all over North America are now quickly and securely exchanging high-resolution medical images. view more (2006-11-27)
