Toshiba Medical Systems has renewed and expanded a $10 million contract that provides imaging equipment to the more than 700 members of the MHA/MedEcon group purchasing organization. Toshiba will provide its Aquilion CT and Opart open MR systems, PowerVision 8000 and 6000 ultrasound systems, and E.Cam dual-head nuclear medicine camera. The contract also provides for x-ray equipment, including the Infinix angiographic and Max-1000 and Efficiency systems.
At the end of last month, Toshiba signed a three-year, sole-source agreement to provide cardiovascular and diagnostic ultrasound systems to the 12,000 hospitals and clinics of Magnet, another GPO (SCAN 2/29/00).
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.
