NBC News (1/30, Bendix) reports, “Plenty of research has linked regular exercise to a lower risk of cancer, but a new study suggests that getting into better shape could reduce the risk of prostate cancer in particular.” The study “showed that men whose cardiorespiratory fitness improved by 3% or more annually over a period of three years, on average, were 35% less likely to develop prostate cancer than men whose cardiorespiratory fitness declined by 3% annually.” The findings were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Early detection is also vital to prostate health. Radiology & Imaging Specialists offers a prostate MRI service that evaluates the health of the prostate.

A heart arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat and occurs when the electrical signals that tell the heart to beat don't work properly. The heart may beat too fast, too slow, or the pattern of the heartbeat may be inconsistent. Some arrhythmia may feel like a flutter in your chest or a pounding heartbeat.

If you feel like your heart is beating too fast, too slow, or skipping a beat, make an appointment for a health checkup. Your doctor may recommend further testing. Radiology & Imaging Specialists offers cardiac MRI services, which can help diagnose any heart conditions. https://www.risimaging.com/cardiac-mri/

While Computed Tomography (CT) is a relatively inexpensive imaging technology that is widely available within healthcare, MRI scans tend to deliver higher imaging quality when it comes to more defined changes within the body.

The rise of AI has become a windfall for radiologists in the area of imaging. New software can provide support to radiologists who interpret CT scans. This new method, presented in a study from the University of Gothenburg, could enhance diagnostic support, particularly in primary care, for conditions such as dementia and other brain disorders.
