LAVA MRI Sharpens Liver Tumor Targeting

Precision in cancer treatment literally comes down to the type of scan your doctor uses.

A recent study on liver metastases revealed that standard CT scans leave way too much room for

interpretation. When three experts tried to outline the same tumors using just CTs,

their drawings were inconsistent. But when they switched to a specific MRI sequence called

LAVA, the variability almost vanished. They finally agreed on exactly where

the tumor started and ended. This matters because precise outlines mean tighter radiation

margins, sparing healthy organs while destroying the cancer. It turns out,

upgrading the image quality is the secret to safer, more accurate survival.
