Lantheus diversifies supply of radioisotope
Lantheus Medical has signed NTP Radioisotopes as a supplier of molybdenum-99, which generates technetium, a key component of Lantheus' SPECT nuclear cardiology agent Cardiolite. The agreement provides a second source of the radioisotope generator, which Lantheus had previously obtained primarily from the aging Canadian nuclear reactor at Chalk River (New moly-99 shortage threatens following Chalk River reactor shutdown). NTP Radioisotopes, a subsidiary of the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation, will ship the isotope at regular intervals. To further bolster the new agreement, NTP has partnered with Belgian radiochemical producer IRE to cosupply the isotope to Lantheus.
Brit readies PACS launch for SIIM
PACS/IT vendor Brit Systems will launch its next-generation, browser-based PACS, Roentgen Works, at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine conference next month in Charlotte, NC. The company will also release SpeechWorks, a voice recognition and real-time structured reporting solution that can be integrated with the BRIT Vision workstation, and UrgentWorks, a browser-based critical results reporting and discordance tool.
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.
