Three-D transducers enhance Toshiba ultrasound

Emphasizing intuitive workflow and portability, the Universal Wireless Probe reportedly offers a cost-effective combination of phased and linear ultrasound imaging.

Nina Kottler, M.D., chief medical officer of AI at Radiology Partners, discusses, during RSNA 2020, what new developments the annual meeting provided about these technologies, sessions to access, and what to expect in the coming year.

While high-resolution ultrasound offered nearly 10 percent higher specificity in the detection of upper extremity peripheral neuropathy, magnetic resonance neurography provided a nearly 23 percent higher sensitivity rate in a recent study.

Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.

In a study involving assessment of over 1,000 thyroid nodules, researchers found the machine learning model led to substantial increases in sensitivity and specificity for estimating the risk of thyroid malignancy over traditional TI-RADS and guidelines from the American Thyroid Association.

Offering an array of AI-powered automation and image optimization, the new Elevate software is geared to maximizing workflow efficiencies for the EPIQ Elite and Affiniti ultrasound systems.
