Bone densitometry vendors are developing new low-cost scanners targeted at physicians' offices, and Pixi is Lunar's (Hall A, #2112) entry into this promising niche. The scanner is based on DEXA technology and received 510(k) clearance this year, with the Madison, WI, company starting the first production shipments in September.
In MRI, Lunar will show a new version of the Artoscan niche MRI scanner it sells through an agreement with Esaote Biomedica of Italy. Artoscan M is a more compact offering that integrates the system's magnet, electronics, and operator console into a single package.
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.
