The Sienet VA42 MagicStore system for diagnostic image storage is scheduled to begin shipping this fall. The latest version of Siemens PACS components is a DICOM 3.0-compliant enterprise storage solution based on open standards. Because MagicStore uses industry standard database technology and off-the-shelf hardware, customers will have the flexibility to purchase additional storage capacity on a just-in-time basis defined by evolving requirements and growth in data volume, as opposed to up-front purchases based on forecasted need, according to Siemens. The system can be scaled to meet a range of needs from a community hospital generating 50,000 imaging procedures a year or less to a multisite enterprise providing more than a million procedures a year.
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.
