East Tennessee's Wellmont Health System has chosen Agfa to deploy an enterprise-wide PACS. The company will install its Agfa IMPAX at each of the four Wellmont hospital radiology departments. The objective is to link digital radiology images with an electronic patient record. The hospital system plans to link the system to inpatient, outpatient, and home care services. To support this expansive network, Wellmont has leveraged several IT technologies, namely a high-speed network for data transmission; a storage area network to store, communicate, and protect data over several different facilities; and an enterprise storage solution that provides the capacity necessary to retain all image content.
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.
