U.K.-based Mirada Solutions and R2 Technology of Sunnyvale, CA, have agreed to integrate R2's OmniCAD computer-assisted diagnosis platform with Mirada's Standard Mammogram Form (SMF) technology to create the next generation of CAD systems for mammography. SMF, described by the two companies as being intrinsic to the tissue characteristics of the breast, provides an optimal starting point to develop robust CAD applications, executives from the two companies said. SMF is a standardized representation of a mammogram computed from the image intensities (film or digital) and imaging parameters of the system used to acquire the image. The SMF standardization technology enables the optimization of mammograms acquired on different systems at different times for analysis, quantification, and display.
Study: Monitoring of Prostate MRI Exams Could Lead to 75 Percent Reduction of Gadolinium Contrast
March 17th 2025While DCE MRI was deemed helpful in over 67 percent of cases in which it was used, researchers found that monitored prostate MRI exams, which facilitated a 75 percent reduction of DCE MRI sequences, had comparable sensitivity for prostate cancer as non-monitored exams.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
