Artificial Intelligence and Biparametric MRI in Prostate Cancer Detection: From Benchmarking to Workflow Strategies
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. MRI helps detect aggressive cancer accurately and on time, but interpretation is complex and requires a high level of expertise. At the same time, pressure on healthcare systems is increasing...

Unravelling the distribution of holmium microspheres following transarterial radioembolisation
Transarterial radioembolisation is a treatment for liver cancer that delivers radioactive microspheres into the liver via a blood vessel. These microspheres spread unevenly: some areas in the liver receive high radiation dose, others very little. In...
