Siemens Medical Solutions has developed cardiac MR software that eliminates the need for an electrocardiogram. The technology was introduced in February during the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance meeting in Orlando, FL. The software extracts cardiac motion information from MRI data, avoiding problems typically associated with obtaining a reliable ECG signal inside a high magnetic field. Siemens developed the software with partners at Northwestern University and the Cleveland Clinic. Initial results in a clinical study to be published later this year suggest that the technology may have image quality advantages over standard ECG synchronization. Siemens plans to extend the software to respiratory gating to eliminate the need for patient breath-holding during cardiac MR scans.
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.
