Konica of Wayne, NJ, became the latest company to join the digital x-ray party when it received 510(k) clearance on June 19 from the Food and Drug Administration for Regius, an x-ray digitization system based on storage phosphor technology. Konica introduced Regius at last years Radiological Society of North America meeting as a system for conducting digital chest and abdomen studies (SCAN 11/26/97).
Although Regius is similar to computed radiography in that it is based on storage phosphor, unlike CR it does not require storage phosphor plates to be removed and taken to a separate reader. Images can be acquired and processed in 20 seconds and sent directly into a DICOM-based network. Konica has already installed over 20 Regius systems in Japan.
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.
