Agfa passed on the opportunity to purchase Direct Radiography Corp. during its acquisition of Sterling Diagnostic Imaging earlier this year (SCAN 6/23/99), but that decision hasnt prevented the two firms from working together. Agfa has signed an exclusive long-term sales agreement with Newark, DE-based DRC, giving the Ridgefield Park, NJ, vendor the right to sell DirectRay x-ray image capture detectors to clients in the nondestructive testing (NDT) market for inspecting components such as turbine blades and castings. DirectRay detectors have already been used for NDT applications: In October of last year, the detectors were installed in a system used for the inspection of molds for land-based turbine blades, according to DRC.
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.
