Medrad has introduced a CT syringe loader that can fill contrast syringes outside the scanner room. By loading the amount of contrast agent needed specifically for each patient, the device promises to save scan room time and money. The product has an advantage over prefilled syringes, according to Medrad, by allowing staff to manage the contrast volume for each patient more effectively. The CT Syringe Loader, which is compatible with Medrad's EnVision, Vistron, and MCT Plus vascular injectors and syringes, can be mounted on the wall near contrast and supplies and can be quickly dismantled for cleaning.
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.
