Philips launched a new CT simulation workstation at the 2003 annual meeting of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine held Aug. 10 to 14 in San Diego. The AcQSim3 combines simulation features of the AcQSim workstation with Philips' radiation therapy planning (RTP) system Pinnacle3, creating a single shared platform and integrated workflow. Integration of the CT simulation workstation and RTP enables access to shared patient data from other Philips oncology workstations. The new AcQSim3 connects seamlessly to the company's image fusion application, Syntegra, and intensity-modulated radiation therapy application, P3IMRT. It is compatible with Philips' multimodality imaging systems, including the AcQSim CT, Gemini PET/CT, and Panorama MRI, as well as with other vendors' DICOM-compliant imaging systems. AcQSim3 can also communicate with other vendors' RTP systems via standard DICOM and DICOM-RT transfer protocols.
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.
