Accel Instruments and GSI (Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung) are partnering with Siemens Medical Solutions to develop technology for delivering particle therapy. Accel, headquartered in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, has more than 20 years' experience in particle accelerator technology. GSI is a government-funded heavy ion research center located in Darmstadt, Germany. Particle therapy treatments utilize fast-moving atomic particles such as ions or protons. Treatments can be focused with pinpoint accuracy, thereby lowering integral dose and reducing toxicity to healthy tissues.
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.
