Siemens debuts tissue harmonic imaging
Siemens Ultrasound of Issaquah, WA, has become the latest ultrasound vendor to add tissue harmonic imaging capabilities to its product line. The firm's version, called Ensemble Tissue Harmonic Imaging, will be offered on its premium Sonoline Elegra
Siemens Ultrasound of Issaquah, WA, has become the latest ultrasound vendor to add tissue harmonic imaging capabilities to its product line. The firm's version, called Ensemble Tissue Harmonic Imaging, will be offered on its premium Sonoline Elegra ultrasound scanners.
The new release allows Elegra users to isolate harmonic signal data without the use of contrast agents, according to the firm. Ensemble supports high-frequency imaging and can provide demonstration of breast lesions and superficial images. The system also shows promise in scanning difficult-to-image patients.
Ensemble eliminates the impact of signal artifacts common during high-frequency scanning with its pulse-inversion technology, which isolates harmonic imaging signals, according to Siemens. Combining the harmonic imaging signals with fundamental signal data allows Elegra to yield improvements in tissue contrast and spatial resolution in nearly all radiological applications, the company believes.
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.
