Some brain tumors after chemoradiation respond better to anti-VEGF treatment. Our team found they also have less blood flow, different chemical signals & longer water signal times on MRI. Knowing this could help doctors match the right treatment to the right patient.

In #AbdominalRad, @uclaradiology.bsky.social's Dr. Jena Depetris & collaborators review intrahepatic biliary & peribiliary cystic lesions, their mimics & management. MRI & MRCP help distinguish benign from potentially malignant lesions & guide follow-up, biopsy or surgery.

A safe, minimally invasive way to treat certain benign breast tumors without surgery or a long recovery? @uclaradiology.bsky.social's Dr. Daniel Bradley explains how cryoablation works, who it's for & why patients are so satisfied. Watch the video:

New research from @uclaradiology.bsky.social's Dr. Jay Acharya & collaborators shows 0.55 T MRI produces clearer images with fewer artifacts than 3 T for titanium total hip arthroplasty, often without advanced artifact reduction, offering a simpler, reliable option.
