Siemens snags Penn service contract
For the next seven years, Siemens will service and ensure round-the-clock availability of diagnostic systems and biomedical devices at hospitals in the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The work will be done as part of a $135 million contract signed with Siemens by the UP health System, one of the largest such systems in the U.S. Diagnostic systems covered by the contract include MR, CT and ultrasound systems, as well as such non-imaging products as laboratory systems, surveillance monitors, and anesthesia units.
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.
