Imatron of South San Francisco, CA, has received orders for four ultrafast CT scanners, the company reported this month. Two of the systems were shipped in the fourth quarter of 1997 and were sent to the Cardioguard Clinic in Sarasota, FL, and the Cardiovascular Institute Dedinje in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
The other two orders will be shipped this quarter to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and to a Cardioguard Clinic being planned for Orlando. Cardioguard intends to open a total of six ultrafast CT centers in Florida in the next 18 months. The systems were ordered through Imatron's distributor, Siemens Medical Systems of Iselin, NJ, which is giving up rights to Imatron's scanners in April under an agreement reached between the companies late last year (SCAN Special Report 12/97).
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.
