64-slice CT zeros in on blood vessels
Toshiba America Medical Systems announced July 27 a version of its 64-slice CT dedicated to vascular studies. The Aquilion 64 CFX is designed to examine peripheral vessels, identify soft plaque, and measure coronary stenosis. The Aquilion 64 uses the
Toshiba America Medical Systems announced July 27 a version of its 64-slice CT dedicated to vascular studies. The Aquilion 64 CFX is designed to examine peripheral vessels, identify soft plaque, and measure coronary stenosis. The Aquilion 64 uses the same detector as the Aquilion 32 but includes twice as many data channels, which allows the individual use of all 64 detector rows.
Mammography Study Suggests DBT-Based AI May Help Reduce Disparities with Breast Cancer Screening
December 13th 2024New research suggests that AI-powered assessment of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for short-term breast cancer risk may help address racial disparities with detection and shortcomings of traditional mammography in women with dense breasts.
Study Shows Merits of CTA-Derived Quantitative Flow Ratio in Predicting MACE
December 11th 2024For patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), researchers found that those with a normal CTA-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) had a 22 percent higher MACE-free survival rate.
Can MRI-Based AI Bolster Biopsy Decision-Making in PI-RADS 3 Cases?
December 9th 2024In patients with PI-RADS 3 lesion assessments, the combination of AI and prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) level achieved a 78 percent sensitivity and 93 percent negative predictive value for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), according to research presented at the Radiological Society of North American (RSNA) conference.
Assessing MACE Risk in Women: Can an Emerging Model with SPECT MPI Imaging Have an Impact?
December 9th 2024In research involving over 2,200 women who had SPECT MPI exams, researchers found that those who had a high score with the COronary Risk Score in WOmen (CORSWO) model had a greater than fourfold higher risk of major adverse coronary events (MACE).
