HOST and FCC promote telemedicine standards
The lack of telemedicine standards is often cited as one of the main barriers to expansion of the specialty. On July 17 in Washington, DC, the HOST consortium and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will bring together members of standards-developing organizations, government agencies, vendors, and healthcare providers to promote standards for open-architecture telemedicine systems.
"Since HOST was created to promote the deployment of open-architecture healthcare systems, and the FCC wants to encourage the adoption of standards in general, our cooperation makes a lot of sense," said Lewis Lorton, executive director of HOST, a nonprofit consortium created in 1994.
The Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Women's Health, and the Federal Interagency Joint Working Group on Telemedicine are collaborating in the meeting, which will feature a keynote address from FCC chairman Reed Hundt. Other presentations will focus on obstacles to the diffusion of telemedicine, and breakout groups will discuss specific problem areas.
Telemedicine equipment vendors, healthcare and telemedicine providers, governmental agencies, and the public are invited. For more information, visit HOST's Web site at www.hostnet.org.
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.
