Bryn Beryl Community Hospital, part of the North West Wales Trust in the U.K., has converted its maternity ward into a digital x-ray department containing computed radiography equipment from Ferrania. Images from the filmless Bryn Beryl hospital are transferred to Ysbyty Gwynedd Hospital for reporting.
"Instant diagnosis for emergency cases was not possible with the previous traditional systems. Now diagnosis is completed in a matter of minutes for urgent cases. This is greatly improving operational efficiency and patient throughput," said Nerys Jones, senior radiographer at Bryn Beryl.
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.
