Siemens Medical Systems of Iselin, NJ, will release an upgrade this month for its MagicView 1000 soft-copy reporting workstations that is designed to further streamline the reporting process for radiologists.
The software release, called VA3, includes a series of features that reduce the time it takes for radiologists to perform common workstation tasks. For example, a default worklist allows radiologists to automatically receive the films they are generally assigned to read.
Display modes can be automatically enabled based on how each radiologist likes to read the images. Users can also program macros to perform a series of functions with a click of one button, said Susan Rossnick, product manager for clinical networking.
Improved prefetching and autorouting capabilities are also included on the software, which will begin shipping on July 1. When an exam initially arrives on the workstation, historical exams are automatically fetched from the central archive to be available to the radiologist.
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.
