New imaging applications boom

Emerging imaging techniques, such as coronary artery calcium scoring, CT-based cardiac angiography, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance and ultrasound, are driving the expanded use of cardiovascular in vivo diagnostics. According to a study released by Kalorama Information, the next five years will see a 70% increase in the use of such in vivo cardiac testing. Driven by the recognition of the costs associated with cardiovascular disease in terms of mortality and utilization, interest in early detection of the disease process is growing, said the study, entitled “Trends in the Early Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease: Worldwide Market Opportunities.” Electron-beam tomography, MR, CT, ultrasound, stress echo, and remote heart rate monitors are expected to displace more expensive, invasive procedures such as the nuclear stress tests, x-ray angiography, and nuclear perfusion tests.
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.
