Men with HR+ breast cancer have high breast cancer─specific mortality risk at 20 years

13 Mar 2024 by

Breast cancer–specific mortality (BCSM) risk remains high over 20 years in men with stage I─III hormone receptor (HR)–positive breast cancer and the kinetics are different from those seen in women, a population-based study has shown.

ECG- vs non-ECG-triggered CTAA: Which is better for assessing aortic disease?

12 Mar 2024 by

An electrocardiograph (ECG)-triggered computed tomography (CT) angiography of the aorta (CTAA) on a single-source scanner generates better image quality and vessel attenuation of the aortic root and ascending aorta than the non-ECG-triggered CTAA, but the former also delivers a higher dose of radiation, a Singapore study has shown.
