Another new entrant in the low-field MRI sweepstakes, InnerVisionMRI of London, England, displayed impeccable timing by receiving510(k) clearance for its 0.14-tesla permanent magnet scanner justweeks before the RSNA meeting (SCAN 11/20/96). The scanner willbe displayed as Ortho 8000 in the booth of Vision Medical Servicesof Ontario, CA, which has U.S. rights to the system.
Vision will emphasize Ortho 8000's small footprint and minimalsiting requirements, its open-aperture magnet, and affordableprice and operating costs. The system will be targeted at orthopedic,pediatric, and interventional applications.
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.
