Ultrasound vendor Acuson scored a coup this month when it sold 10 echocardiography systems, combined with its KinetDx PACS product, to Health First Heart Institute of Brevard, FL. Health First has installed one of Acusons Aspen units and nine of its Sequoia C256 units, along with KinetDx, at hospitals and clinics in its network: Cape Canaveral Hospital, Palm Bay Community Hospital, Health First Healthplex Outpatient Clinic, and Holmes Regional Medical Center. The Aspen and Sequoia systems will include Acusons Imagegate hardware and software upgrade package, which it launched in September (SCAN 9/15/99).
Acuson introduced KinetDx in April at the Symposium for Computer Applications in Radiology in Houston (SCAN 5/12/99). KinetDx will link all four of Health Firsts facilities into a single network.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
