Radiopharmaceutical developer Cytogen has commercially released a new brachytherapy implant for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. DraxImage, the radiopharmaceutical subsidiary of Draxis Health, developed the next-generation radioactive seed, called BrachySeed Palladium-103. This is the second such offering by Cytogen and DraxImage. The first, BrachySeed I-125 containing radioactive iodine, was launched in 2001. The BrachySeed products complement Cytogen's ProstaScint, a monoclonal antibody-based agent used to image the extent and spread of prostate cancer.
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.
