Bone densitometer doubles as office exam table
GE Medical Systems has introduced an x-ray bone densitometer that optimizes office space by doubling as a patient examination table. The system is built around the Lunar DPX Duo, a fully functional bone densitometer equipped with a swing arm.
GE Medical Systems has introduced an x-ray bone densitometer that optimizes office space by doubling as a patient examination table. The system is built around the Lunar DPX Duo, a fully functional bone densitometer equipped with a swing arm.
The arm, which is positioned over the patient while conducting bone density measurements, can be moved out of the way when providing routine gynecologic or other examinations.
The Lunar DPX Duo provides bone density measurements of the hip and spine and a fracture risk assessment in one consolidated report. An optional DualFemur feature assesses both femurs and identifies the one with lower bone density. By combining the assessment of both femurs, thereby increasing the precision with which bone mineral density is determined, DualFemur allows monitoring of treatment response at the femur fracture site.
The system also includes SmartScan, a measurement technique that automatically adjusts the passage of bone scanning during the course of examination in real-time.
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.
