Seeing may be believing. But when treating cancer, our eyes sometimes misinform us. When interpreting CT and MRI scans, it can be difficult to distinguish the borders between organs and tumors, to determine how tumors have changed since the previous exam, and to spot new tumors when the focus is on another area. Researchers at […]
