In an article appearing in the journal of the National Cancer Institute, Ioannis Sechopoulos and colleagues showed that current artificial intelligence systems can detect breast cancer in mammograms as well as a breast radiologists.
Ioannis was named Fellow of the AAPM due to his distinguished contributions to medical physics and the esteem in which he is held by his peers.
Many pregnant women in developing countries do not receive an ultrasound examination. As a result, pregnancy risks often go unnoticed, which contributes to the high maternal mortality rates in these countries.
For the first time Radboud university medical center has treated a patient with liver metastases by using holmium radio-embolization. With this technique, radioactive holmium microspheres are injected via a catheter into the liver artery.
