Digital retrofit nears market
A plug-and-play converter that retrofits analog medical systems for digital imaging is being readied for February product launch by its developer Medicapture. The MediCapture USB100 uses a USB memory stick to transport digital images from legacy imaging
A plug-and-play converter that retrofits analog medical systems for digital imaging is being readied for February product launch by its developer Medicapture. The MediCapture USB100 uses a USB memory stick to transport digital images from legacy imaging systems, such as an analog ultrasound scanner, to a computer. Data are saved in raw pixel-by-pixel format so as to allow the user to fine-tune images; for example, changing to frame or field mode after the image has been captured. Images can be saved in JPG, BMP, PCX, or DCM format. MediCapture USB100 supports most Windows operating systems. The company is working on a Mac-compatible version. It is pitching the product to OEMs, but most of the interest is coming from dealers. One master distributor has been signed in the U.S. and another in Asia.
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.
