Fuji Medical Systems USA displayed new products in its booth at the RSNA meeting that it hopes will broaden the utility of computed radiography. The Stamford, CT, company introduced the FCR 5501D reader and Imaging Plate Cassette 3B. Fuji expects that the reader and imaging plate will be available in early 2000.
FCR 5501D is a digital x-ray device that performs dual-side reading, which combines clear base imaging plates and dual optical readers so that users can read x-ray information from both sides at the same time. FCR 5501Ds dual-side reading capability improves the devices detective quantum efficiency (DQE) so that more image information is available to clinicians, according to Fuji. The reader carries a 17 x 17-inch imaging area that can perform two exposures in seven seconds and can process 120 imaging plates per hour.
IP Cassette 3B is aluminum-backed with a carbon fiber front, and was developed for larger patients and high-volume departments. It produces 14 x 17-inch images and is compatible with Fujis AC-3 and FCR 5000 series image readers.
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.
