PACS firm Agfa has received a $25 million contract from Queensland Health of Australia, which will use the Ridgefield Park, NJ-based firms Impax PACS offering to link the imaging units at five tertiary teaching hospitals. Impax software, workstations, and other hardware for electronic image capture, transmission, display, and archiving will be provided to the Royal Brisbane, Royal Womens, Royal Childrens, Princess Alexandra, and Townsville General hospitals. Agfa will also serve as a systems integrator, linking Impax with four other major digital technology suppliers. Queensland Health hopes to convert to a totally filmless environment within two to three years, according to Agfa.
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.
