Toshiba America Medical Systemslast month unveiled its PowerPace upgrade for the vendor's SSA-270Aand SSH-140A ultrasound scanners. PowerPace includes ColorAngio,Toshiba's version of amplitude-based power Doppler imaging, and3-D Color Perspective, a 3-D color display that shows the directionof blood flow and varying vessel depths. The upgrade also featuresOB Advisor, an on-board obstetrics data management package. Thelist price of the package is $22,500.
Sonographers are still evaluating the clinical utility of power-modeDoppler, but detection of early infarcts in renal transplantsis an early application, according to Phil Smith, vice presidentof ultrasound business operations.
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.
