Intermagnetics General has completed, tested, and delivered the first in a series of new 1-tesla open MRI magnets. The new, actively shielded magnet is the centerpiece of Philips’ Panorama 1.0T product, which was introduced as work-in-progress at last year’s RSNA meeting. The company has also begun commercial shipments of 3-tesla magnets, which serve as the core of its Intera 3.0T system. The system is designed for high-end neuro, orthopedic, and cardiovascular applications. Despite its very high field strength, Intera 3.0T fits in the same compact casing as lower field Intera systems and has the same 60-cm-diameter bore. Philips’ rising market share and the growth of new applications for 3-tesla scanners has begun to produce incremental revenue, according to Glenn H. Epstein, Intermagnetics president and chief executive officer. The company is looking forward to continued fiscal growth from this product as well as the open 1-tesla system, he said.
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.
