Pacific Radiology helps the Hurricanes get back on the Field

Pacific Radiology doctors and clinical staff recently contributed to a published study on conventional vs deep learning MRI.

A unique research study is underway through the New Zealand Brain Research Institute (NZBRI) with New Zealand’s first brain tau PET scan in Christchurch. The focus is on Parkinson’s disease dementia.

Every day in New Zealand, nine people are diagnosed with bowel Cancer and three of them die. However, bowel cancer is a highly treatable disease if detected and diagnosed early.

In New Zealand, nearly 1000 women are affected by gynaecological cancer each year. Over the years, research about gynaecological cancer has been increasing and the role of Clinical Research Nurse has been integral to the discovery of a number of treatments, diagnoses, studies or trials.

A revolutionary approach to scanning using Deep Learning techniques could drastically reduce MRI scan times, meaning greater patient comfort and better quality images.

Recent developments in a global study including Pacific Radiology’s Research & Development Group mean that patients with neurodegenerative disorders could soon receive quicker, more accurate diagnoses.
