Tumor research has more than earned my attention over the course of time and I think that most can agree with this. To say that this level of research has been able to earn the attention of many is nothing short of an understatement. There's a clear focus on results and it seems as though these will be able to come into play in the future. MR imaging has been able to earn my attention and I believe that it can be utilized for the sake of finding stronger results in the future.
According to ScienceBlog.com, a new method in analyzing data may come into play for the sake of tumor research. It will be able to determine whether or not these growths are responding to a new anti-angiogenesis therapy, which can potentially lead into treatments becoming created later on down the road. The Massachusetts General Hospital talked about how vessel architectural imaging would be able to identify changes within blood vessels. It's a strong story more than deserving of the attention of organizations like Voices against Brain Cancer.
According to the article, details about this method are very attractive compared to the procedures done in the past. Biopsy is one of the examples but seeing as how it requires invasive surgery it could bring harm to patients that cannot be undone through another procedure. PET scanning, which is another case, brings few details in conjunction with high radiation. There should be better procedures brought into effect for the sake of gaining information on these growths and I think that this level of imaging can be done.
MR imaging has so many details to consider that I think it is one of the greatest points to take into account as far as this process is concerned. Blood vessels are able to vary in a number of ways, radius being just one of the instances. The fact that imaging can be used despite such factors set into place is brilliant. It can tell small arteries apart from capillaries, for example, showing the potential that has to be tapped into in methods to come.
Tumor research has developed so much over the course of time and this story is just another example of this. I believe that there's much that can be found thanks to MR imaging that may not have been picked up on through past methods. Surgery shouldn't be required to find out this type of information and the fact that tumors are complex by nature means that many details have to be acquired. MR imaging is one of the ways to do so and it houses great potential.
