Israeli computerized light box developer SmartLight this month got the go-ahead from the Food and Drug Administration for expanded labeling for its products. On June 14, the FDA cleared SmartLights claim that, compared with conventional light boxes, the companys motorized system substantially improves clinicians ability to see more detail in films. SmartLight submitted a study of more than 1000 radiologists reading quality control mammography films to back up its 510(k) filing (SCAN 5/26/99).
The FDA also cleared SmartLights claim that its viewing systems can reduce effects of age on the ability of older radiologists to see small, low-contrast objects. According to SmartLight, radiologists aged 45 to 60 viewing x-rays on its light boxes can detect smaller, lower-contrast objects than their 30-year-old colleagues can using conventional light boxes.

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.
