Ultrasound specialists and obstetricians in Malaysia are complaining that the publicity surrounding three-dimensional ultrasound implies that two-dimensional technology is obsolete, engendering tremendous anxiety among both patients and doctors, according to an article in the New Straits Times.
These physicians point out that development in recent years of high-resolution 2-D probes and color Doppler ultrasound has enabled doctors to obtain images of the fetus with better clarity. Consequently, doctors are able to diagnose fetal abnormalities earlier in the pregnancy with greater confidence.
Conventional 2-D ultrasound remains the primary method for detection of fetal abnormalities, said Dr. Ravi Chandran, president of the Malaysian Society of Ultrasound in Medicine. Three-D ultrasound is a developing technology and has yet to be shown to be superior to 2-D ultrasound in this respect.
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.
