Philips Medical Systems of Best, the Netherlands, has announcedthe receipt of a major contract to provide 40 of its Rados radiologyinformation systems to a large PACS installation in France. TheRados systems will be used to connect 50 hospitals in the Paris-basedAssistance Publique-Hpitaux de Paris (AP-HP).
The installation is part of AP-HP's ambitious MIRIAM project,which is designed to centralize hospitals in the group arounda single RIS and PACS. AP-HP is the largest hospital group inEurope, comprising 30,000 patient beds, an annual budget of about$6 billion, and 57 medical imaging departments.
Philips will install Rados at two pilot facilities, and then deploya total of 40 systems in four phases over the next four to fiveyears, beginning in September 1997.
On the PACS side, Agfa was named to provide its Impax networkingsystem to AP-HP.
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.
