Hospital puts the brakes on integrating cardiac PACS
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston has decided not to mesh its cardiac PACS and enterprise/radiology PACS, at least for the time being. The main reason is cost, according to Georgann Bruski, director of invasive cardiology.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston has decided not to mesh its cardiac PACS and enterprise/radiology PACS, at least for the time being. The main reason is cost, according to Georgann Bruski, director of invasive cardiology.
Vendor and product maturity, as well as campus politics, also played a role in the decision, as cardiology actually competes with radiology at Beth Israel.
Additionally, integration of the cardio and radiology PACS would be problematic because the two systems' patient record identifiers are inconsistent.
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.
