MSCT fleshes out mummy
Archeologists armed with picks and shovels may have unearthed Harwa's mummified remains in the Valley of the Queens, but it took modern-day scientists armed with a multislice CT scanner and advanced postprocessing capability to finally put a face on the 3000-year-old Egyptian.
Unlike spiral CT, which has been used in the past for similar projects, MSCT allowed radiologists, anthropologists, and forensic artists to uncover much finer detail, including a mole on the left side of Harwa's face (AJR 2004;183:755-758). Postprocessing enabled the investigators to virtually unwrap the bandages from the head, separating them from superficial dried tissue remaining on the mummy's skull. The only other way to have obtained such precise information would have been to unwrap, destroy, and otherwise alter the conservation of the bandages and the mummy, the authors said.

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.
