Virtual tissue staining in 3-D, pioneered through the VISTACT platform, is an AI-driven technique that applies traditional histological color markers to high-resolution, greyscale micro-computed tomography (µCT) scans. This enables the non-destructive, three-dimensional analysis of pathological tissue changes without the need to physically slice and chemically stain delicate samples.

MRI-guided thoraco-abdominal percutaneous needle biopsy: our initial experience - European Radiology

Objective The aim of this study is to describe the technique and to report early results of thoraco-abdominal biopsies in the Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Suite (IMRIS). Materials and methods We prospectively evaluated patients with indications for MRI-guided biopsy between January 2021 and May 2022. Exclusion criteria were indication for US-/CT-guided biopsy, contraindication to percutaneous biopsy, inability to lie flat for at least 30 min, claustrophobic, severe obesity, or non-MRI compatible devices. Biopsies were performed by 3 interventional radiologists, with at least 8 years of experience in oncological interventional radiology. Epidemiological, clinical, procedural, and histopathological data were retrospectively collected. Results From an initial population of 117 patients, 57 patients (32 male, mean age 64 ± 8 y) were finally enrolled. All 57 patients suspected thoraco-abdominal malignant lesions finally underwent MRI-guided percutaneous biopsy. The mean duration of the entire procedure was 37 min (range 28–65 min); the mean duration of the total needle-in-patient time was 10 min (range 6–19 min). Technical and clinical success were obtained for all the biopsies performed. Malignancy was demonstrated in 47/57 (82%) cases and benignancy in the remaining 10/57 (18%) cases. No major complications were detected after the biopsies; two minor compliances (severe pain) occurred and were managed conservatively. Conclusion Our initial experience demonstrated the technical feasibility and the accuracy of MRI-guided biopsies of thoraco-abdominal masses. The reported data associated with the best comfort for the patient and for the operator make the use of MRI a valid alternative to other methods, especially in lesions that are difficult to approach via US or CT. Clinical relevance statement Interventional MRI is one of the most important innovations available for interventional radiologists. This method will broaden the diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, allowing treatment of lesions up to now not approachable percutaneously. For this, it is necessary to start publishing the data of the few groups that are developing the method. Key Points • To evaluate the use of MRI as a guide for percutaneous biopsies of various districts. • Our preliminary experience confirms experience demonstrated the technical feasibility and the accuracy of MRI-guided biopsies of thoraco-abdominal masses. • Interventional MRI can become the reference method for percutaneous biopsies in particular for lesions with difficult percutaneous approach.

Have my Computed Tomography images and they say they are not for diagnostic purposes but Google Doctor has got me this far so I'm on it!

UZH: Assistant Professorship tenure track in Digital Paleobiology

We are seeking candidates in the field of paleobiology with a focus on 3D-data and their analyses, databases, digitalisation, use of machine learning, or similar digital approaches to address palaeobiological questions. Profound knowledge in at least one group of fossil organisms is ex-pected. The aim of the new professorship in Digital Paleobiology is to respond to the substantial and rapidly evolving needs for acquisition and handling digital data of, e.g., digitalized specimens, CT-data, photogrammetry, and to complement existing expertise at the Paleontological Institute and the University of Zurich (UZH). Hereby, the professor will ensure the sustainability and open accessibility of the unique resources of the Natural History Museum of the University of Zurich. The successful candidate will apply new cutting-edge digital techniques to push the frontiers of paleobiology. Therefore, they will bring a strong emphasis on digitalisation techniques, experience in their application, and analysis. The professor will be expected to teach at the bachelor and master level and supervise PhD students. In particular, teaching courses on paleobiology and digital methods in paleobiology will be part of their responsibility. We further welcome active participation in regional, national and international societies and committees. The University of Zurich sees researchers as modern leaders who conduct excellent research - taking into account the Open Science principles - through their own research projects as well as the promotion of excellent junior researchers, and who help shape a future-oriented University with innovative research-based teaching. UZH provides generous research support, including dedicated funds for personnel, running expenses and competitive start-up packages. Additionally, the successful applicant is expected to acquire external research funding. Zurich's scientific environment encompasses a rich spectrum of diverse activities. Assistant professors tenure track are typically evaluated for tenure after 6 years. The employment conditions for this position follow UZH's legal regulations including part-time options. UZH is an equal-opportunities employer, and the Faculty of Science, in particular, strives to increase the percentage of women in leading positions. Therefore, qualified female researchers are particularly encouraged to apply. Care-time interruptions are considered during the evaluation of applicants of all genders. The open-minded and family-friendly city of Zurich combines the vibrant cultural scene in a modern European city with the convenient accessibility to its beautiful natural surroundings.
