Scanis took a major step forward this month in laying the groundwork for commercial launch of its Mammex TR computer-aided detection workstation. The Foster City, CA, company has signed a letter of intent to set up a worldwide distribution deal for Mammex TR with mammography heavyweight Trex Medical of Danbury, CT.
The agreement calls for Trex to receive exclusive worldwide sales and marketing rights to the workstation for five years. Mammex TR could be used either with Trex's full-field digital mammography system or with digitized mammography film to flag suspicious areas on an image for a radiologist's attention. Mammex TR will be shown as a work-in-progress at this month's Radiological Society of North America meeting.

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.
