A new storage phosphor-based x-ray digitization unit will be displayed in the booth of Konica Medical of Wayne, NJ (Hall A, #1332). The system, called Regius, is designed for upright chest and abdomen studies and will be shown as a work-in-progress.
A new storage phosphor-based x-ray digitization unit will be displayed in the booth of Konica Medical of Wayne, NJ (Hall A, #1332). The system, called Regius, is designed for upright chest and abdomen studies and will be shown as a work-in-progress.
Konica will emphasize both the 20-second acquisition and cycle time of Regius and the fact that images can be processed and sent into a DICOM network without the need to remove the storage phosphor plate and take it to a separate reader, a drawback with computed radiography systems. Konica has installed 20 Regius systems in Japan and hopes to begin selling the system in the U.S. in 1998.
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.
