A Philips CT scanner at Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital in Chicago has provided a canvas for pop artist Jeff Koons.
A Philips CT scanner at Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital in Chicago has provided a canvas for pop artist Jeff Koons. The monkey decals on the scanner cowling blend into the jungle setting painted on the walls and hallways of the hospital’s CT suite. The artwork, adorned by Koons’ iconic balloon dog, hanging heart, and donkey imagery, was commissioned by RxArt, a nonprofit organization that curates contemporary art installations in hospital settings, and Kiehl’s Since 1851, a New York-based provider of skin and hair care products. The goal is to cheer and sooth young patients who enter the otherwise sterile and potentially scary testing environment.
Study: AI-Generated ADC Maps from MRI More Than Double Specificity in Prostate Cancer Detection
June 5th 2025Emerging research showed that AI-generated ADC mapping from MRI led to significant increases in accuracy, PPV and specificity in comparison to conventional ADC mapping while achieving a 93 percent sensitivity for PCa.
Possible Real-Time Adaptive Approach to Breast MRI Suggests ‘New Era’ of AI-Directed MRI
June 3rd 2025Assessing the simulated use of AI-generated suspicion scores for determining whether one should continue with full MRI or shift to an abbreviated MRI, the authors of a new study noted comparable sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value for biopsies between the MRI approaches.
Can Abbreviated MRI Have an Impact in Differentiating Intraductal Papilloma and Ductal Secretion?
June 3rd 2025For patients with inconclusive ultrasound results, abbreviated breast MRI offers comparable detection of intraductal papilloma as a full breast MRI protocol at significantly reduced times for scan acquisition and interpretation, according to a new study.
