The latest version of electron-beam tomography, e-Speed, has been installed at Edward Heart Hospital in Naperville, IL. The hospital is among the first three sites in the world to install the EBT system, which GE Medical Systems acquired through its corporate takeover of Imatron in December 2001 (SCAN 1/2/02). The EBT product is dedicated to cardiology and was introduced last year at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association (SCAN 11/27/03). GE released in mid-May at the annual meeting of the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology a cardiac CT software application dedicated to electrophysiology. The software, called CardEP, includes tools designed to assist the assessment of complex cardiac anatomy. Features include interactive 3D modeling and segmentation.
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.
