GE to add compact MRs to portfolio
GE Healthcare plans to expand its MR offerings with the purchase of dedicated extremity product lines from ONI Medical Systems. If the deal goes through, ONI’s two high-field scanners, the MSK Extreme 1.0T and the MSK Extreme 1.5T, will join the GE portfolio. Each is very compact as they are designed to allow only the joint of the patient inside the magnetic field. About 175 of the ONI scanners have been installed worldwide, according to GE. Accompanying the scanners to GE will be the R&D team that stands behind them, led by Dr. Peter Roemer, who this year won the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine’s Gold Medal.
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.
