The use of adjunctive CT bone reading software in women with breast cancer detected between 8 to 22 percent more metastatic lesions for reviewing radiologists and reduced CT interpretation time by 50 percent or more, according to a new study.
In addition to providing higher SNRs in vascular structures and parenchymal organs than energy-integrating detector CT, photon-counting CT enabled an approximately 30 percent reduction in volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) for patients with obesity, according to a new study.
Newly published preclinical research signals a substantial conceptual shift with a potential role of photon-counting CT in targeting specific biological processes.
The future of AI in radiology lies in its potential capability to forge connections and enhance efficiencies for enterprise-wide workflows.
