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.
Can Contrast-Enhanced Mammography be a Viable Screening Alternative to Breast MRI?
June 17th 2025While the addition of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) led to over a 13 percent increase in false positive cases, researchers also noted over double the cancer yield per 1,000 women in comparison to DBT alone.
Multinational Study Reaffirms Value of Adjunctive AI for Prostate MRI
June 16th 2025The use of adjunctive AI in biparametric prostate MRI exams led to 3.3 percent and 3.4 percent increases in the AUC and specificity, respectively, for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in a 360-person cohort drawn from 53 facilities.
Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and High-Concentration ICM Dosing: What a New Study Reveals
June 16th 2025New research showed a 96 to 97 percent sensitivity for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) with an increased iodine delivery rate facilitating robust contrast enhancement for women with aggressive breast cancer.
