R2 Technology has introduced at the RSNA meeting its new dual-mode ImageChecker, a single computer-aided detection unit that can process analog and digital mammography images simultaneously.
R2 Technology has introduced at the RSNA meeting its new dual-mode ImageChecker, a single computer-aided detection unit that can process analog and digital mammography images simultaneously.
The company also features at its booth standard mammography software that allows radiologists to compare last year's analog images with this year's digital ones. The software, obtained through an exclusive arrangement with Mirada, processes both types of images with the same set of software tools.
"By introducing software capability that takes two different renderings, two different analog and digital exposure parameters, and normalizes them to look like one another, we're trying to accelerate and embrace the movement toward digital and help individual facilities make the transition from analog to digital technology," said R2 CEO Mike Klein.
The software takes previously acquired analog images, which may appear grainy and fuzzy, and makes them look as if they had been captured using the latest digital acquisition format by smoothing out the borders of the breast, examining the physical properties of the breast, and taking a statistical sampling of the density of the breast.
Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and Dense Breasts: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals
May 1st 2024The 10-study meta-analysis demonstrated that contrast-enhanced mammography has a 95 percent sensitivity rate and an 81 percent specificity rate for diagnosing suspicious lesions in women with dense breasts.
European Society of Breast Imaging Issues Updated Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations
April 24th 2024One of the recommendations from the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) is annual breast MRI exams starting at 25 years of age for women deemed to be at high risk for breast cancer.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
