The Florida Division of Adventist Health System (AHS) and Agfa HealthCare have signed a multiyear, $30 million agreement to upgrade the Florida Division's film-based radiology operation to digital imaging, using Agfa's PACS and CR products. Based on a pilot study of Agfa's IMPAX and ADC systems at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, executives of Florida Division approved the launch of digital image and information management systems at more than 20 AHS facilities, including outpatient facilities and hospitals. Installations will be accomplished as part of a single infrastructure, allowing images and information to be shared across the enterprise. The agreement prioritizes 17 AHS facilities, with installation already under way at nine.
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.
