About ICIS
The International Cancer Imaging Society exists to meet the important challenges of advancing imaging in the multidisciplinary management of cancer.
We promote education in oncological imaging and stimulate research in the study of human tumour behaviour, bringing together radiologists with an interest in oncological imaging for the exchange of ideas, and to organise scientific meetings, multicentre research studies and postgraduate courses within the field.
Cancer Imaging Journal
Impact Factor 3.016
Cancer Imaging is the official journal of ICIS, it is an open access, peer-reviewed journal with original articles as well as reviews and editorials. The journal encompasses CT, MRI, ultrasound, single photon and positron emission tomography, including multimodality imaging in all kinds of malignant tumours, plus new developments, techniques and innovations.
The conference was perfectly organised and extremely helpful. Thank you very much!

Obesity linked with differences in form and structure of the brain
Published: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 13:37:36 EDT
Researchers using sophisticated MRI technology have found that higher levels of body fat are associated with differences in the brain's form and structure, including smaller volumes of gray matter, according to a new study. The findings add important information to our understanding of the connection between obesity and negative health consequences such as dementia.
Making digital tissue imaging better
Published: Thu, 18 Apr 2019 13:50:52 EDT
A low-tech problem troubles the high-tech world of digital pathology imaging: There are no reliable standards for the quality of digitized tissue slides comprising the source material for computers reading and analyzing vast numbers of images. Poor-quality slides get mixed in with accurate slides, potentially confusing a computer program trying to learn what a cancerous cell looks like. Researchers are trying to fix this, sharing an open-source quality control standard.
Three-dimensional imaging identifies nutrient exchange in the human placenta
Published: Wed, 17 Apr 2019 15:37:57 EDT
New three-dimensional imaging of the human placenta has been developed to help understand the reasons for fetal growth restriction.
Biosensor 'bandage' collects and analyzes sweat
Published: Wed, 17 Apr 2019 10:27:37 EDT
Like other biofluids, sweat contains a wealth of information about what's going on inside the body. However, collecting the fluid for analysis, usually by dripping or absorbing it from the skin's surface, can be time-consuming and messy. Now, researchers have developed a bandage-like biosensor that both collects and -- in conjunction with a smart phone -- analyzes sweat. The device could someday help diagnose diseases.
Roadmap for AI in medical imaging
Published: Tue, 16 Apr 2019 13:21:34 EDT
Researchers are examining applications for diagnostic medical imaging, identifying knowledge gaps and developing a roadmap to prioritize research needs.
Genetic analysis has potential to transform diagnosis and treatment of adults with liver disease of unknown cause
Published: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 11:38:32 EDT
Adults suffering from liver disease of unknown cause represent an understudied and underserved patient population. A new study supports the incorporation of whole-exome sequencing (WES) in the diagnosis and management of adults suffering from unexplained liver disease and underscores its value in developing an understanding of which liver phenotypes of unknown cause in adults are genetic.
Patient shielding provides negligible benefits while increasing risks
Published: Mon, 08 Apr 2019 16:17:06 EDT
A new study makes the case for why it is time to abandon the practice of patient shielding in radiology.
Five-minute sample processing enhances DNA imaging and analysis
Published: Mon, 08 Apr 2019 16:16:12 EDT
Scientists have developed a fast, simple sample preparation method that enhances imaging of DNA to better analyze its physical properties and interactions.
Childhood trauma has lasting effect on brain connectivity in patients with depression
Published: Mon, 08 Apr 2019 16:16:10 EDT
A study found that childhood trauma is linked to abnormal connectivity in the brain in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD). The paper shows symptom-specific, system-level changes in brain network connectivity in MDD.
Spying on cells' eating habits could aid cancer diagnosis
Published: Mon, 08 Apr 2019 11:43:16 EDT
Scientists have developed a new imaging technology to visualize what cells eat, which could aid the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer.
New PET imaging biomarker could better predict progression of Alzheimer's disease
Published: Thu, 04 Apr 2019 12:48:08 EDT
Researchers have discovered a way to better predict progression of Alzheimer's disease. A study utilizing positron emission tomography to image microglial activation levels showed that these levels could predict current and future cognitive performance better than beta-amyloid levels.
Black nanoparticles slow the growth of tumors
Published: Thu, 04 Apr 2019 10:44:04 EDT
The dark skin pigment melanin protects us from the sun's damaging rays by absorbing light energy and converting it to heat. This could make it a very effective tool in tumor diagnosis and treatment. Scientists managed to create melanin-loaded cell membrane derived nanoparticles, which improved tumor imaging in an animal model while also slowing the growth of the tumor.
New imaging method tested for first time on human patients
Published: Wed, 03 Apr 2019 15:54:52 EDT
A new study could significantly improve methods for detecting and diagnosing congenital heart disease in infants and small children. Researchers used vector flow imaging to create detailed images of two three-month-old babies' hearts.
Artificial intelligence helps to better assess treatment response of brain tumors
Published: Tue, 02 Apr 2019 21:56:24 EDT

Mesothelin-targeted CAR T-cell therapy shows early promise in patients with solid tumors
Published: Sun, 31 Mar 2019 19:25:35 EDT

Published: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 12:39:18 EDT
Working with mice, researchers have developed a relatively inexpensive, portable mini microscope that could improve scientists' ability to image the effects of cancer, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and other conditions in the brains of living and active mice over time. The device, which measures less than 5 cubic centimeters, is docked onto animals' heads and gathers real-time images from the active brains of mice moving naturally around their environments.
