A joint venture between Intermagnetics General and Surrey MedicalImaging Systems will display a new 0.15-tesla permanent-magnetMRI scanner designed to carry one of the lowest price tags inthe industry. The work-in-progress scanner, IMiG-MRI, will bedisplayed in the booth of SMIS, a company based in Surrey, U.K.(SCAN 7/3/96).
IMiG-MRI features a compact permanent magnet with a 70 x 57-cmelliptical bore designed by ICG, a Latham, NY, company that buildssuperconducting magnets for MRI vendors such as Philips and Hitachi.The magnet's electronics were developed by SMIS, which suppliesspectrometers to Advanced NMR and Magna-Lab.
The scanner's gradient coils are rated at 14 mtesla/m, whilethe entire platform weighs 8 tons and occupies a 35-square-metersuite. The companies plan to emphasize international sales ofIMiG-MRI through a network of distributors.
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.
