International Isotopes begins thallium production
Radiopharmaceutical manufacturer International Isotopes has begun producing thallium 201 at both its completed linear accelerator and its cyclotron facilities in Denton, TX. The firm expects that the production of thallium at both facilities will allow
Radiopharmaceutical manufacturer International Isotopes has begun producing thallium 201 at both its completed linear accelerator and its cyclotron facilities in Denton, TX. The firm expects that the production of thallium at both facilities will allow it to provide an ample supply of the isotope to hospitals and clinics in the U.S. Since it is situated near two airports, International Isotopes can ship isotopes with short half-lives overnight, according to Dr. Ira Lon Morgan, chairman and CEO. Thallium has a half-life of 73 hours and is used for the diagnosis of heart disease.
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.
