Konica Medical Imaging displayed a new computed radiography reader at the recent RSNA show. Following up on its 1998 RSNA meeting launch of the cassetteless Regius 330 chest and abdominal imaging system, Konica introduced Regius 150, a cassette-based unit. Konica designed Regius 150 to facilitate dispersed CR imaging and improve user efficiency. The unit can be used in emergency rooms, critical care and trauma centers, and radiology departments, according to the firm. Regius 150 is DICOM compliant and uses a touch screen interface and long-lasting plates, according to the Wayne, NJ-based company.
Regiuss single interface allows technologists to input patient data, select exams, process images, and then distribute them to a DICOM network. Its five plates can be inserted into vertical bays, scanned, then removed without contact or distortion, eliminating scratches and extending the life of the plates, according to Konica. The units cassette is made of carbon fiber and a reinforced frame, which allows for maximum absorption of useful radiation and minimal patient exposure, according to the company.
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.
