Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry manufacturer Lunar of Madison,WI, will split a $4.2 million damage award after winning a patentinfringement claim against a manufacturer of airport baggage scannersthat use dual-energy technology. A jury found that EG&G Astrophysicsviolated the patent, and ruled that Lunar and co-plaintiff theUniversity of Alabama-Birmingham Research Foundation were entitledto split the award.
Lunar does not manufacture baggage scanning devices, but doesintend to sublicense rights to its technology to baggage-scannerdevelopers, the company said.
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.
