Riverain’s Chest X-Ray Comparison Tool Gets FDA Nod
Temporal Comparison software compares current and prior chest X-rays to help identify nodules that may be early-stage lung cancer.
Riverain Technologies, a Dayton, Ohio-based medical technology company, has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Temporal Comparison software, which compares current and prior chest X-rays and can help identify nodules that may be early-stage lung cancer, the company announced.
The technology targets differences between the X-rays, drawing attention to what could be an emerging or enlarging tumor. The software aligns the two images to produce a difference image, which the company said allows radiologists to identify subtle changes more clearly.
In a study of 422 pairs of chest X-rays, 15 radiologists demonstrated an average of 12.4 percent improvement in sensitivity for actionable solitary pulmonary nodules using the software, compared to results viewing the X-rays side by side, the company said.
The software can be used with Riverain’s Bone Suppression software, which removes the bones from the image to make differences more conspicuous.
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.
