The German Bergmannstrost Hospital, a trauma center in Halle/Saale near Leipzig, has upgraded its Agfa RIS/PACS. In 2003, the hospital's RIS/PACS integration project was nominated for the eEurope Award for eHealth of the European Commission.
Also in Germany, the Franz von Prummer clinic in Bad Bruckenau is replacing its PACS with a new system from VEPRO. More than half of first-time PACS purchases have to be replaced within three years, according to the vendor.
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.
