MRI pioneer Leon Kaufman, Ph.D., has taken the helm of AccuImage Diagnostics. Kaufman joined the company as CEO in mid-February, leaving Toshiba amid that company's reorganization (SCAN 1/31/01). Kaufman in 1975 established one of the world's first MRI development programs at the University of California, San Francisco, a program successively supported by Pfizer, Diasonics, and Toshiba America, as well as the National Institutes of Health. After leaving UCSF in 1994, Kaufman spent six years as Toshiba's chief scientist and vice president of engineering. In his new position at AccuImage, Kaufman will focus on the development and marketing of 3-D visualization and networking technology.

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.
