Varian Medical Systems on Oct. 20 unveiled Trilogy, an image-guided radiation therapy system at the annual meeting of the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology in Salt Lake City. The work-in-progress is optimized for conventional and stereotactic approaches to treating cancer. Trilogy is designed to deliver 3D conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy, and intensity-modulated radiosurgery for cancer and neurosurgical treatments. At its core is an enhanced version of Varian's 23EX Clinac linear accelerator capable of stereotactic applications that involve delivering higher doses of radiation to smaller areas over a shorter period of time.
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.
