South Shore Hospital, a 304-bed facility in South Weymouth, MA, has signed up for teleradiology and clinical image distribution from Amicas. South Shore radiologists will use the Web-based PACS to distribute, archive, and retrieve approximately 70,000 of the more than 170,000 medical studies performed annually at the facility. With the installation, 17 in-house radiologists will have access to patients' current and prior studies using the hospital's intranet and Web server. They will also be able to securely access and diagnose patient images from outside the hospital through a virtual private network.
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.
