The Positron PET scanner is being upgraded to allow whole-body imaging for diagnostic procedures in oncology, neurology, and cardiology. Positron has been known primarily for its Posicam cardiac PET scanner, which is being used by Mobile P.E.T.
The Positron PET scanner is being upgraded to allow whole-body imaging for diagnostic procedures in oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
Positron has been known primarily for its Posicam cardiac PET scanner, which is being used by Mobile P.E.T. Systems on its specially designed trailer.
The new scanner, the mPower, has a 16.6-cm field of view, according to the company, plus enhanced software that allows shorter patient scan times. The mPower will be displayed June 37 at the Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in St. Louis.
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.
