PACS vendor Algotec has been selected by University of Virginia Health Sciences Center to provide a large-scale enterprise-wide Web-based PACS. Installation will begin in October. When completed, the system will link the radiology department on the main campus with three satellite facilities. It will utilize the hospital intranet for Web-based communications throughout the enterprise as well as for teleradiology sites and at-home reading. The 675-bed hospital has 32 staff radiologists handling more than 300,000 cases annually.
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.
