Siemens offers vascular upgrade
Macro- and microvasculature will be easier to see on Siemens Antares ultrasound system using a new vascular enhancement technology called Clarify VE. The new technology is based on an algorithm that uses power Doppler information to enhance B-mode tissue
Macro- and microvasculature will be easier to see on Siemens Antares ultrasound system using a new vascular enhancement technology called Clarify VE. The new technology is based on an algorithm that uses power Doppler information to enhance B-mode tissue resolution and reduce partial volume averaging artifacts throughout the region of interest. The resulting 2D images depict tissue and vasculature, including vessel wall structures. Clarify VE technology on the Antares system with the StellarPlus performance package can be seamlessly integrated in applications including vascular and small-parts studies, abdominal exams, and ob/gyn cases.
Seven Takeaways from Meta-Analysis of PSMA Radiotracers for Prostate Cancer Imaging
December 1st 2023In a newly published meta-analysis of 24 studies, researchers noted that the PSMA PET radiotracer 18F PSMA-1007 may provide more benefit than 68Ga Ga-PSMA-11 for primary staging of patients with prostate cancer and detection of local lesion recurrence, but also has drawbacks with higher liver uptake and multiple reports of false positive bone lesions.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
Chest CT Study Shows Higher Emphysema Risk from Combination of Marijuana and Cigarette Smoking
November 28th 2023People who smoke marijuana and cigarettes have 12 times the risk for centrilobular emphysema than non-smokers, according to new computed tomography (CT) research presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
