Chip for interventional imaging enters market
Chip technology that promises to extend the product lifecycle, while reducing the size and energy consumption of interventional radiology equipment is now on the market. The chip, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), incorporates ContextVision’s GOPView iRVPlus. This software is designed specifically to process fluoroscopy images, such as those accompanying angioplasty or stent replacement, during which real-time images are used to guide catheters. It was unveiled at RSNA 2008.
iCAD hosts webinars on prostate cancer
Computer-aided detection specialist iCAD is reaching out to a broad array of specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, in an effort to highlight advanced image analysis and workflow solutions developed by the company. Two webinars, entitled “Prostate MRI – A Paradigm Shift in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Management” and scheduled for Oct. 15 and Nov. 10, will focus on how MR combines with iCAD’s quantitative image analysis software VividLook to support improved prostate cancer management. The company hopes to interest radiologists, urologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, technologists and other referring physicians in the course, which will include clinical case reviews. These reviews will demonstrate prostate cancer detection in patients with previously negative prostate biopsy and rising PSA values, as well as the use of dynamic contrast enhanced MR and CAD to monitor prostate cancer response to radiation therapy.
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.
