MSCT scanners outpace radiologists in Japan
Eighty-four percent of the hospitals and more than 50% of the medical facilities in Japan that own multislice CT scanners have no full-time board-certified radiologist, according to a study by the Japanese College of Radiology.
Eighty-four percent of the hospitals and more than 50% of the medical facilities in Japan that own multislice CT scanners have no full-time board-certified radiologist, according to a study by the Japanese College of Radiology.
The investigators highlighted the low level of MSCT penetration in Japan, a fact that clashes with the country's reputation as a technological hotbed. And even if high-performance diagnostic equipment were available, the shortage of a qualified workforce behind it would prevent Japanese patients from benefiting, they said (Nippon Acta Radiologica 2005;65[3]:294-299).
MSCT scanners represent 10% of all CT equipment currently available in Japan. In contrast, multislice scanners made up 52% of the newly installed CT base in the U.S. for the year 2001, the investigators 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.
