Catheter ablation beat weight loss and antiarrhythmic drugs for reducing recurrent atrial fibrillation in patients with ...

Diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer discovered just in time, surgery, proton therapy and chemotherapy saved two-year-old ...

We present a new method for the atlas-free brain segmentation of proton-density-like 3D MRI images. We show how steerable filters can be efficiently combined with parametric spline surfaces to produce ...

And that's exactly what the MRI scanner provides. “When you put a patient in an MRI scanner, all those protons basically align according to the magnetic field,” Wintermark adds.

How an MRI works during a scan The MRI machine uses a strong magnetic field that aligns and stimulates particles called protons in the body, forcing them to spin out of alignment.

On January 9th, 2024, a scientific prototype for MRI-guided proton therapy was inaugurated in Dresden at OncoRay–National Center for Radiation Research in Oncology. With this installation, experts ...

Treatment with Dihydroxy-6- (18 F)fluoro-L-phenylalanine (18 F-DOPA) PET−guided, dose-escalated, hypofractionated proton beam therapy was associated with an improved overall survival (OS) compared ...

Add another first for Southwest Florida Proton, the $80 million cancer treatment center recently opened in Fort Myers. Lee Health Imaging’s outpatient center, which opened in the 35,000-square-foot ...

Add another first for Southwest Florida Proton. Lee Health Imaging’s outpatient center that opened this month within the proton center is offering a 3T MRI magnet for the first time. The Lee Health ...

MRI scanners use powerful magnets and radio waves to create these images. The magnets produce a strong magnetic field that forces protons within the body to align with that field.

We observed improved overall survival compared with historical controls and a promising adverse event profile by using 18F-DOPA PET−guided, dose-escalated, hypofractionated proton beam therapy. These ...
