Biosound Esaote of Indianapolis has begun U.S. shipments of AU5, the companys newest color-flow ultrasound scanner. AU5 was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in August and is targeted at general imaging, vascular, intraoperative, ob/gyn, and intracavity applications. Esaote has shipped about 400 AU5 units internationally.
Highlights on the scanner include Digital Storage Module, which adds archiving capabilities and support for the DICOM standard. Working in conjunction with DSM is the companys ImageLab software, which turns a PC into an off-line image review workstation.
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.
