Calantric™ Digital Solutions reportedly offers artificial intelligence (AI)-powered apps, bolsters lesion detection, facilitates triage priorities and enhances workflow efficiency.
Could a new cloud-based suite of imaging apps help radiologists navigate increasing imaging volume in their practices?
Calantric Digital Solutions offer apps that target three key aspects of radiology workflow, according to Bayer, the manufacturer of the new platform. The company said the system includes apps to assist with lesion detection, triage of suspicious findings for expedited review, and automation of routine tasks and measurements.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered aspects of the imaging app platform and access to digital tools may be beneficial in improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency with imaging assessment, according to Ryan K. Lee, MD, MBA, MRMD, chair of the department of radiology with Einstein Healthcare Network in Philadelphia
“AI has the potential to transform health care, and, particularly in medical imaging, it can turn the growing amounts of data into value-adding insights to support radiologists and their teams in their decision-making,” noted Dr. Lee, an associate professor at the Sydney Kimmel College at Thomas Jefferson University.
Offering a variety of applications, ranging from assistance with pulmonary nodule detection to triage of suspected intracerebral hemorrhage, the initial platform for Calantric Digital Solutions is primarily focused on the assessment of thoracic and neurological diseases, according to Bayer. However, the company said it plans to add more disease-specific apps to the platform in the future.
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.
Systematic Review: PET/MRI May be More Advantageous than PET/CT in Cancer Imaging
July 18th 2024While PET/MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivity for patient-level regional nodal metastases and lesion-level recurrence, the authors of a systematic review noted that PET/MRI had significantly higher accuracy in breast cancer and colorectal cancer staging.
