FINDINGS A study led by researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has found that magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, frequently underestimates the size of prostate tumors, potentially leading to undertreatment. The study authors found that such underestimation occurs most often when the MRI-measured tumor size is small and the PI-RADS score, which is used to classify lesions in prostate MRI analysis, is low. For prostate tumor treatments to be successful, both the MRI size measurement and PI-RADS score must be accurate because they allow physicians to determine precisely w...

Nuclear Engineering Students Spotlight December 15, 2020 Meet Kaitlyn, a Nuclear Engineering Student Kaitlyn is a senior Nuclear Engineering student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She studies Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences. Can you tell us a bit about Nuclear Engineering and what it’s like to study? My major offers many different paths of study. For my path, I study atoms: everything is made up of atoms, which are so small that you can’t even see them. When you break apart certain types of atoms, energy is released. In my classes, I am learnin...
