Philips announces photomultiplier breakthrough
Philips scientists have developed a silicon-based photomultiplier technology that the company says could revolutionize detectors used in PET scanners. This technology, which allows faster and more accurate photon counting, promises to make PET detectors more efficient. Attendees at the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference in Orlando, FL, will glimpse the science underlying the technology, when Philips formally unwraps the new photomultiplier technology at the meeting Oct. 25 to 31.
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.
