Philips introduces treatment planning technology
Philips Healthcare has introduced a new module for its Pinnacle3 radiation treatment planning package. The SmartArc optional module is an independent technology compatible with the leading linear accelerators, according to the company. It is designed specifically for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), which combines the dosimetric benefits of rotational therapy with the dose painting capabilities of intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Philips expects its use to improve plan quality and increase efficiency of treatment.
Philips' latest 3T installations start up
The first installations of Philips' Achieva 3.0T TX are operating at Tokai University in Tokyo, Bonn University in Germany, and Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, VT. Users are focusing on breast, spine, and abdominal imaging. The scanner, unveiled at RSNA 2008, features the company's new MultiTransmit technology, which automatically adjusts the radiofrequency signal to suit the anatomy of specific patients.
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.
