SMV will exhibit at its first RSNA conference since the nuclearmedicine vendor was formed through the merger of Sopha Medicaland Summit Nuclear (SCAN 6/21/95). SMV has renamed the Sopha andSummit product lines, giving them the prefix "Vision.
Among the new technologies SMV will emphasize is coincidencedetection, to be shown as a work-in-progress on both the DST-XLand the FX-80 dual-head cameras, according to Lonnie Mixon, directorof marketing.
SMV will also highlight Restore, a resolution recovery algorithmthat corrects for geometric distortion caused by collimators inSPECT studies. The technique can be used with SMV's transmissionattenuation correction (TAC) protocol.
What is the Best Use of AI in CT Lung Cancer Screening?
April 18th 2025In comparison to radiologist assessment, the use of AI to pre-screen patients with low-dose CT lung cancer screening provided a 12 percent reduction in mean interpretation time with a slight increase in specificity and a slight decrease in the recall rate, according to new research.

November 3rd 2020In this podcast episode, Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, from Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discusses the disparities minority patients face with cancer screenings and what can be done to increase access during the pandemic.
Can CT-Based AI Radiomics Enhance Prediction of Recurrence-Free Survival for Non-Metastatic ccRCC?
April 14th 2025In comparison to a model based on clinicopathological risk factors, a CT radiomics-based machine learning model offered greater than a 10 percent higher AUC for predicting five-year recurrence-free survival in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Could Lymph Node Distribution Patterns on CT Improve Staging for Colon Cancer?
April 11th 2025For patients with microsatellite instability-high colon cancer, distribution-based clinical lymph node staging (dCN) with computed tomography (CT) offered nearly double the accuracy rate of clinical lymph node staging in a recent study.
