New extensions to Mercury Computer's RACE family of high-performance embedded computer systems promise to achieve record speeds in processing high-resolution 3D medical diagnostic images. The technology, unveiled at the International Society for Optical Engineering Symposium on Medical Imaging in San Diego Feb. 23 to 28, can complete the cone-beam reconstruction of a 512 x 512 x 512 CT image in 15.5 seconds, which is 20 to 40 times faster than the five to 10 minutes typically required when using conventional computing platforms, according to the company. Integrated into the next design cycle of medical imaging systems, the subsystem design could dramatically improve the speed and accuracy of diagnosis in time-critical situations.
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.
