Winston-Salem, NC-based PointDx is a step closer to entering the U.S. market with a structured reporting technology following the FDA clearance of its REX workstation (version 1.0). REX seamlessly integrates structured reporting with 2D and 3D image analysis. The technology promises to improve report turnaround time, reducing overall reporting costs and providing more concise yet comprehensive information than is possible with traditional reporting models (see feature article, this issue). Completed multimedia reports are made available instantaneously to referring physicians, who can see patient information, diagnostic findings, and images in reports delivered over a secure Internet connection. The system is designed to replicate current reporting workflow, but it automates the process to eliminate many of the inefficiencies associated with traditional reporting. Reports are accompanied by embedded images.
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.
