Imprecision in breast-conserving surgery results in re-excision in 20% of cases, delaying adjuvant therapy and increasing patient anxiety and financial burden. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) enables real-time tumor visualization and m...

Despite the increased water content in fibrotic livers, numerous studies reported a decrease in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in liver fibrosis. We argue that the ADC decrease in fibrotic livers is due to the “T2 shine-through” of...
