The first Somatom Emotion 6 has been installed at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. The CT scanner represents the top of Siemens Medical Solutions' line of Emotion products, one of two families in the Siemens CT portfolio that offer multidetector scanning. The other family, Sensation, includes the company's flagship 16-slice system. Emotion 6 is designed as a value-oriented scanner capable of delivering most mainstream clinical capabilities associated with multidetector products. Siemens unveiled the Emotion 6 at the RSNA annual meeting in December (SCAN 12/25/02).

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.
