256-slice CT proves its might in stroke imaging
A prototype 256-slice CT unit can perform rapid whole-brain perfusion imaging in stroke patients and may one day compete head to toe with other modalities.
A prototype 256-slice CT unit can perform rapid whole-brain perfusion imaging in stroke patients and may one day compete head to toe with other modalities.
The system, developed by Toshiba, has a wide detector that allows brain imaging in a single rotation at a low radiation dose. Clinical trials are complete, and a commercial system should hit the market by summer 2008, according to Dr. Kazuhiro Katada, a professor of radiology at Fujita Health University in Toyoake. He showed data from 11 stroke patients who underwent 50-second scanning at 80 kV and 80 mA. The 256-slice images offered better visualization of superior parietal lobe lesions and remote effects when compared with conventional CT perfusion. Katada spoke at the 2007 Stanford Multidetector-Row CT Symposium.
AI Mammography Platform Shows Promising Results for Detecting Subclinical Breast Cancer
October 3rd 2024Mean artificial intelligence (AI) scoring for breasts developing cancer was double that of contralateral breasts at initial biennial screening and was 16 times higher at the third biennial screening, according to a study involving over 116,000 women with no prior history of breast cancer.
