Siemens installed the 10,000th Acuson Sequoia ultrasound system in December. The milestone system was the 13th Sequoia installed at the University of California, San Francisco. Sequoia, introduced in 1996, has been continually upgraded by its developer, Acuson, and most recently by Siemens, which acquired the company. A new collection of workflow and imaging performance advancements announced at the RSNA meeting, called the Paragon release, expands Sequoia's TEQ ultrasound optimization technology.
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.
