The AntoniusMesosGroup (AMG) has signed a letter of intent with Agfa HealthCare to digitize its radiology departments. By fall 2003, the hospital group, which includes three hospitals in the Netherlands, expects to be completely filmless, implementing Agfa Impax with integrated RIS. The project is valued at Euro 3.75 million. The project initially will install Agfa RIS with speech recognition at each of the sites. AMG's three radiology departments will then be linked with Agfa's Impax system. The next step will be to integrate the RIS and PACS.
In Charleston, WV, the installation of Impax at one site, Charleston Area Medical Center, is leading to its expansion to three others. The Charleston center went filmless in spring 2002. Installation of Impax at the other three hospitals in the nonprofit CAMC Health System could be completed by next spring.
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.
