The Leeds Teaching Hospitals, Britain's largest hospital trust, has chosen Agfa's IMPAX solution as the first step in what will be one of the largest PACS programs ever in the U.K. When complete, the Agfa PACS infrastructure will extend through all eight hospitals in the Leeds group. The first implementation will occur at Leeds General Infirmary, one of the trust's hospitals and one of the country's major teaching hospitals. Plans call for the system to be up and running within three months after the order is placed. The hospital performs approximately 200,000 radiology examinations per year and will store more than six years' worth of patient images online for internal use and two years' worth for Web distribution.
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.
