Integral PET Associates is joining forces with the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center and Penn’s radiology department to extend its network of PET scanning centers. One of the largest cancer networks of its kind, the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Network is composed of 28 hospitals and a large medical oncology network. Plans call for opening as many as seven PET centers at UPCN community hospitals within the next six months. Each Penn PET center will have a fixed PET scanner. Additional sites in the future may have fixed or mobile scanners, depending on patient demand. University physicians will help interpret the PET scans and oversee the medical aspects of the PET centers; Integral PET will perform administrative functions. The alliance was forged to address the complex educational, financial, medical, functional, and operational concerns that accompany the installation and operation of PET centers in community-based settings.
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.
