Three cases-one for the colon, a second in cardiology, and a third addressing the liver-will serve as the playing fields for this year’s Workstation Face-Off. Seven companies will go head to head Wednesday May 19 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. with luminaries putting their workstations through carefully choreographed steps.
Three cases-one for the colon, a second in cardiology, and a third addressing the liver-will serve as the playing fields for this year’s Workstation Face-Off. Seven companies will go head to head Wednesday May 19 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. with luminaries putting their workstations through carefully choreographed steps.
Vital Images will bring three physician-customers to champion their product; GE Healthcare will bring two . Philips, Siemens, Carestream, TeraRecon, and Ziosoft will each field just one operator. All operators will follow exactly the same instructions, demonstrating workflow and image quality on their respective workstations, all within the same four-minute time frame for each case.
Case 1 – Screening for colon polyps:
Case 2 – Aortic valvular stenosis as part of a preoperative evaluation:
Case 3 – Evaluation of a patient with metastatic cholangiocarcinoma on experimental treatment:
Rules of engagement prohibit the use of prerendering.
“No matter how fast you can switch from screen to screen to pick up on presaved views, the sophisticated audience can see what you are doing,” the rules advise.
If Face-Off moderator Dr. Geoffrey Rubin does as he has in the past, he will remind operators to fully magnify and zoom in on findings, a rule often overlooked under the time constraints of the demonstrations, time constraints that have been, and will be again this year, strictly enforced.
Leading Breast Radiologists Discuss the USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations
May 17th 2024In recognition of National Women’s Health Week, Dana Bonaminio, MD, Amy Patel, MD, and Stacy Smith-Foley, MD, shared their thoughts and perspectives on the recently updated breast cancer screening recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).
Multicenter CT Study Shows Benefits of Emerging Diagnostic Model for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
May 15th 2024Combining clinical and CT features, adjunctive use of a classification and regression tree (CART) diagnostic model demonstrated AUCs for detecting clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) that were 15 to 22 percent higher than unassisted radiologist assessments.
CT Study: AI Algorithm Comparable to Radiologists in Differentiating Small Renal Masses
May 14th 2024An emerging deep learning algorithm had a lower AUC and sensitivity than urological radiologists for differentiating between small renal masses on computed tomography (CT) scans but had a 21 percent higher sensitivity rate than non-urological radiologists, according to new research.
