Extending its reach in applications for MR in women’s health, Toshiba unveiled at RSNA 2008 its Radiance Plus Breast Imaging Suite for use on the company’s two 1.5T scanners, the Vantage Atlas and Vantage Titan.
Extending its reach in applications for MR in women's health, Toshiba unveiled at RSNA 2008 its Radiance Plus Breast Imaging Suite for use on the company's two 1.5T scanners, the Vantage Atlas and Vantage Titan. The cornerstone of the suite is the new multichannel Radiance Plus Breast Imaging Coil, a bilateral, multi-element coil designed to provide high temporal and spatial resolution for dynamic analysis and lesion characterization. The coil is mounted on the patient table to permit feet-first entry into the magnet. This allows a patient's head to remain outside the bore, reducing potential discomfort from claustrophobia, according to Toshiba.
Mammography and Breast MRI: Is it Time to Evaluate Strategies as Opposed to Modalities?
July 5th 2024The combination of mammography with breast MRI within 90 days had a 96.2 percent sensitivity in comparison to 48.1 percent for mammography and 79.7 percent for breast MRI performed within 91 to 270 days after index mammography, according to newly published research.
ACR Collaborative Model Leads to 35 Percent Improvement with Mammography Positioning Criteria
July 1st 2024Noting significant variation with facilities for achieving passing criteria for mammography positioning, researchers found that structured interventions, ranging from weekly auditing of images taken by technologists to mechanisms for feedback from radiologists to technologists, led to significant improvements in a multicenter study.
