AI-Enabled Care Pathway: Shifting the Paradigm in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. As clinical guidelines increasingly recommend MRI before biopsy, prostate MRI has become a critical decision point in the diagnostic pathway. However, many imaging departments continue to face challenges such as long acquisition times, motion-sensitive exams, and labor-intensive post-processing.

Digital planning in skull reconstruction: from benefit to necessity

Whenever cranioplasty is discussed, the conversation usually centres on the implant material: titanium or PEEK. However, for Prof. Thomas Schouman, a CMF surgeon at the AP-HP Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, and Maarten Zandbergen, Market Manager for Cranio-Maxillofacial Solutions at Materialise, predictability begins much earlier – with digital planning, long before the patient enters the operating theatre.
