Scans (imaging)

All men with suspected prostate cancer should be offered a specialist MRI scan, before a biopsy. That’s the new recommendation, but is the NHS ready?

A type of specialist MRI scan has been recommended as one of the first tests for diagnosing people with suspected prostate cancer

Blood tests, breath studies and better CT scans could all help detect lung cancers earlier. We investigate the latest research that could inform lung screening.

Researchers are trying to diagnose lung cancer early through screening, and studying if the benefits of early detection outweigh the harms.

The time taken for radiology scans to be analysed and the results reported back to doctors varies widely across England, according to a new report.

Questions are being asked of the tests used to diagnose prostate cancer, and how they can be improved. We cover the latest research, including specialist MRI.

The UK does not have enough radiologists to meet demand, according to a new report.

A new imaging technique uncovers oxygen levels in prostate tumours and could lead to a non-invasive way to determine which tumours are more difficult to treat.

New PET scans combined with drugs targeting low oxygen levels in tumours could help tailor cancer treatment.

Our scientists are building new cameras that could help reveal ‘invisible’ tumours by illuminating them in a rainbow of colours.
