R2 Technology has introduced at the RSNA meeting its new dual-mode ImageChecker, a single computer-aided detection unit that can process analog and digital mammography images simultaneously.
R2 Technology has introduced at the RSNA meeting its new dual-mode ImageChecker, a single computer-aided detection unit that can process analog and digital mammography images simultaneously.
The company also features at its booth standard mammography software that allows radiologists to compare last year's analog images with this year's digital ones. The software, obtained through an exclusive arrangement with Mirada, processes both types of images with the same set of software tools.
"By introducing software capability that takes two different renderings, two different analog and digital exposure parameters, and normalizes them to look like one another, we're trying to accelerate and embrace the movement toward digital and help individual facilities make the transition from analog to digital technology," said R2 CEO Mike Klein.
The software takes previously acquired analog images, which may appear grainy and fuzzy, and makes them look as if they had been captured using the latest digital acquisition format by smoothing out the borders of the breast, examining the physical properties of the breast, and taking a statistical sampling of the density of the breast.
Mammography and Breast MRI: Is it Time to Evaluate Strategies as Opposed to Modalities?
July 5th 2024The combination of mammography with breast MRI within 90 days had a 96.2 percent sensitivity in comparison to 48.1 percent for mammography and 79.7 percent for breast MRI performed within 91 to 270 days after index mammography, according to newly published research.
ACR Collaborative Model Leads to 35 Percent Improvement with Mammography Positioning Criteria
July 1st 2024Noting significant variation with facilities for achieving passing criteria for mammography positioning, researchers found that structured interventions, ranging from weekly auditing of images taken by technologists to mechanisms for feedback from radiologists to technologists, led to significant improvements in a multicenter study.
