Time was of the essence for Amicas at Lakeland Regional Health System in St. Joseph, MI, where the company installed a Web-based PACS in less than 45 days. Lakeland, a three-hospital system with 389 acute beds, 44 subacute beds, and 253 long-term beds, will use the company's PACS to archive, distribute, and retrieve approximately 75,000 digital imaging procedures annually, with volume increasing as the hospital system expands its clinical capabilities. Lakeland's need for PACS emerged with the planning of a digital ambulatory surgical center, complete with multidetector CT. Due to the timing of the ambulatory facility's construction, Lakeland required a PACS installation in less than 90 days, according to Amicas. Of the 13 modalities initially connected to the PACS, seven are located at the new ambulatory facility.
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.
