Medison introduces new breast probe (it's nice and long)

Ultrasound vendor Medison America has introduced a new accessory for its Voluson 530D 3-D ultrasound system, a breast probe that will allow clinicians to visualize lesions, tumors, and other abnormalities as 3-D shapes. The probe consists of an electronic broadband 5 to 10-MHz transducer with a center frequency of 7.5 MHz.
The probe can be used not only for breast cancer imaging, but also for thyroid and testicular cancer imaging, according to Dennis Wisher, director of ultrasound education. Since the probe is held in one position while it gathers 3-D volume data, it eliminates the need for sonographers to move a transducer over the patients skin, therefore reducing scan time and increasing accuracy, the company said. 3-D images generated by the probe can be rotated, and users can manipulate images with Medisons ultrasound software, which includes niche, transparent, trapezoid, surface rendering, and live 3-D modes.
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.
