Breast MR spectroscopy reduces false positives
Spectroscopy can help reduce breast MRI false positives, which tend to increase at various stages of the menstrual cycle, according to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Spectroscopy can help reduce breast MRI false positives, which tend to increase at various stages of the menstrual cycle, according to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Researchers led by Dr. Lia Bartella performed prospective MRS scans on 27 high-risk subjects undergoing screening breast MRI. Eight were in different stages of their menstrual cycle. The investigators defined a positive MRS as having a choline peak greater than or equal to 2.
The protocol was tested in healthy breast tissue contralateral to the diseased breast. Researchers found that choline did not vary in any of the women and ruled out false positives regardless of a subject's menstrual cycle stage. The result is confidence in true-positive and true-negative findings when they perform MRS in the breast, Bartella said at the 2005 RSNA meeting.
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.
