Mammography computer-aided detection firm R2 Technology has placed another ImageChecker system, the company announced. St. Marys Hospital in Milwaukee acquired one of the systems this month, joining the two other facilities in its hospital system, Columbia Hospital and St. Marys Ozaukee, which also have installed ImageChecker units. Los Altos, CA-based R2 has installed approximately 55 ImageCheckers in institutions across the U.S. since the device was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in 1998 (SCAN 7/22/98). The system includes a laser digitizer, software, a motorized viewer with display monitors, and a Pentium II computer with neural network boards.
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.
