St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belleville, IL, is renovating its cardiac catheterization laboratory to install Siemens' Axiom Artis dTC, a digital ceiling-mounted cardiac imaging system equipped with flat-panel detector technology. The system, the first of Siemens' new breed of cardiac cath products to be installed at a clinical site in the U.S., is part of a five-year strategic alliance between the German company and the hospital. Renovations include the creation of a new prep room, designed to increase patient comfort by allowing patients to arrive the morning of their catheterization procedure and wait with their families.
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.
