Images from a low-field open MRI scanner manufactured by Picker International were used to guide the removal of a brain tumor in a patient at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, CA. The Cleveland vendor believes that the use of a low-field MRI scanner in guiding a craniotomy was the first in the U.S. The hospital used Picker's Outlook MRI scanner, in conjunction with the vendor's ViewPoint image-guided surgery system. Employing MRI guidance enabled Long Beach Memorial surgeons to better define the location and extent of the tumor, according to the company.
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.
