This presentation explores the role of radiotherapy in the management of central nervous system (CNS) tumors and the possible neurological complications of radiotherapy. Dr. Steve Baunstein also discusses the techniques to improve the therapeutic ratio in CNS radiotherapy.

Immunotherapy has allowed many people with previously incurable cancers to live for years. This presentation explores the options of immunotherapy, radiation and surgery and the potential combination of treatments to treat skin cancer and head and neck cancer.

The state between localized cancer and wide-spread metastatic disease is termed oligometastatic. This presentation explores radiotherapy and the principles of treatment for oligometastasis. Series: "Osher WISE: Well-being and Integrative Science for Everyone" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 36506]
This presentation explores how head and neck cancers caused by HPV differ from those caused by smoking and the key role of radiotherapy in the treatment of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers. Series: "Osher WISE: Well-being and Integrative Science for Everyone" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 36504]
This presentations explores the basic elements of prostate cancer anatomy, presentation, diagnosis and work-up and describe different techniques for treating prostate cancer with radiation including brachytherapy. Series: "Osher WISE: Well-being and Integrative Science for Everyone" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 36503]
This program describes the ways in which new technology can help better protect the heart during radiation therapy for breast cancer and explores the stepwise progress towards shorter courses of treatment for breast cancer patients.

Research imaging studies, including MRI and CT scans, may provide different information than the imaging performed for clinical care. For instance, a liver MRI using research sequences could be more sensitive at detecting tumors than a standard study. As a result, a patient might no longer qualify for surgery according to the research study. However, information derived from research sequences may not be clinically accurate. Hence the need to conduct a thorough investigation and compare against a gold standard (e.g. a surgical result). Kathryn Fowler, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Radiology at UC San Diego discuses the ethics of patients and physicians being made aware of research results if they are not verifiably accurate.

Ultrasounds are one of the many tools available to help you have a healthy pregnancy. They can be used to monitor fetal growth, estimate risks for genetic disorders, discover the gender of your baby, and much more. Dr. Julia Cormano discusses the different types of ultrasounds that may be done during your pregnancy and how this technology can provide a unique view of your baby's development.

Recent developments in medical imaging, especially the modern CT scanner, now make it possible to make extremely accurate pictures of the human heart in less than one heartbeat. This non-invasive, non-expensive imaging method can produce an accurate picture of cardiovascular health. Heart disease kills more people each year than any other disease. We are presented with an interesting problem for medicine: should we all look to see how our own heart is doing? Is it beneficial to us? Can we afford to do this? Elliot McVeigh, PhD, Professor of Bioengineering at UC San Diego, investigates these questions and more. Series: "Exploring Ethics" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 33717]
EXPLORER, the world’s first medical imaging scanner from UC Davis that can capture a 3D picture of the whole human body at once, has produced its first scans. The developers expect the technology will have countless applications, from improving diagnostics to tracking disease progression to researching new drug therapies. Here the EXPLORER image shows glucose metabolism throughout the entire human body. This is the first time a medical imaging scanner has been able to capture a 3-D image of the entire human body simultaneously. Series: "UCTV Prime" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 34584]
