An advanced phosphor plate that increases the detector quantum efficiency possible on a CR system is being shown at the RSNA meeting. The cesium bromide phosphor-based detector built into the Regius 370 upright CR system from Konica Minolta Medical Imaging sharpens images by using a columnar fiber crystal structure that provides a straightforward path for x-ray energy.
An advanced phosphor plate that increases the detector quantum efficiency possible on a CR system is being shown at the RSNA meeting. The cesium bromide phosphor-based detector built into the Regius 370 upright CR system from Konica Minolta Medical Imaging sharpens images by using a columnar fiber crystal structure that provides a straightforward path for x-ray energy.
The Regius 370 increases image clarity by adding an antiscatter lead sheet to reduce x-ray scattering. It removes image artifacts by means of a hybrid processing algorithm.
Because of its 87.5-µm and 175-µm scanning resolutions, the system can be used for a wide range of clinical applications. A 17 by 17-inch CR fixed plate reader handles any type of upright imaging, including chest, abdomen, and extremity studies.
The Regius 370 is compact in size - 2.5 feet wide and 5.2 feet tall -- and quick, with a preview time of only 10 seconds. Like its predecessor, the Regius 350, the 370 supports x-ray tube synchronization and autocollimation and is able to interface with a variety of x-ray equipment.
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.
