Use of multiparametric MRI for the initial staging of suspected MIBC shortened the time to correct treatment compared with TURBT. Incorporating multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) into the initial staging of ...

Incidental detection has increased with ubiquitous CT/MRI, inflating early-stage ‘small renal mass’ diagnoses and complicating interpretation of a ~5% rise in <50-year incidence. Obesity, hypertension ...

Therapeutic options to treat intermediate-risk and BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer, such as medications and ablative therapies, are expanding, and novel PET tracers enable improved diagnosis and ...

The gold standard test for predicting the onset of diabetic kidney disease is the albuminuria test. However, detecting albuminuria alone has limited sensitivity and specificity in end-stage renal ...

NIH/National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases A new method using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately tracks structural changes that predict functional changes earlier ...

In a world first, University of Ottawa scientists have introduced a metal-free MRI dye capable of mapping kidney function with unprecedented accuracy. This technique will modernize urology, allow for ...

Patients with a common aggressive type of bladder cancer could get correct treatment significantly quicker as new research suggests that initial MRI imaging and biopsy could be used to reduce the time ...

For those requiring a magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI scan, you need to be very careful if you have an underlying kidney issue. According to experts, getting an injection of a contrast fluid, known ...

Using the novel ESMA MRI technique, the researchers identified that elastin is overproduced in diseased kidneys (bottom row) compared with healthy kidneys (top row). (Courtesy: Q Sun et al Science ...
