Image-guided surgery has been conducted using new 3-D fluoroscopy software integrated into electromagnetic tracking technology. The software, developed by Visualization Technology of Lawrence, MA, and trade named FluoroCAT, turns 2-D images acquired from a mobile C-arm fluoroscope into 3-D images. These 3-D reconstructions make better road maps for image-guided surgery than conventional 2-D fluoroscopic images, according to the company. The surgery, performed at SUNY Upstate University Medical Center in Syracuse, repaired vertebral compression fractures, which occur frequently in patients suffering from osteoporosis. The FluoroCAT software has been cleared for marketing by the FDA and is undergoing user testing.
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.
