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.
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.
Systematic Review: PET/MRI May be More Advantageous than PET/CT in Cancer Imaging
July 18th 2024While PET/MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivity for patient-level regional nodal metastases and lesion-level recurrence, the authors of a systematic review noted that PET/MRI had significantly higher accuracy in breast cancer and colorectal cancer staging.
The Reading Room: Racial and Ethnic Minorities, Cancer Screenings, and COVID-19
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.
