The Siemens Oncology Care Systems Group won California Governor Gray Davis 1999 Quality Award for Overall Excellence for its work in oncology. This award recognizes overall excellence in all business areas, including management, marketplace, workplace, and community. The Oncology Care Systems Group, based in Concord, CA, was founded in 1974. It manufactures and develops radiation therapy products for the worldwide oncology market. The group has brought intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to smaller clinics across the U.S. IMRT is usually found in large hospitals. This treatment delivers complex doses of radiation to tumors while minimizing the effect on surrounding tissue.

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.
