Analogic will introduce its AN2300 Digital Ultrasound Engine on the RSNA exhibit floor. The company’s digital engine provides the hardware and real-time software necessary to acquire, process, and convert ultrasound echo information into a video display. It can support clinical applications in cardiology, general radiology, breast, and small parts imaging. This PC-based subsystem, designed for sale to OEMs, is intended to cost-effectively address the imaging needs of specific applications or even niche markets that otherwise might not justify the development of an imaging platform. A complete turnkey system can be created quickly by adding transducers, a unique user interface, ergonomic packaging, clinical software application, and a display. AN2300’s linear waveform transmit and receive beamformers use Analogic’s second-generation ASIC and broadband spline interpolation filter, capable of synthesizing up to 256 receive channels. Advanced imaging modes include parallel beam processing, harmonic receive of up to 15 MHz, beam steering, spectral Doppler, color-flow or power modes, and line-interleaved duplex or triplex combination modes. Complementing the engine is an open software interface that allows developers to program the system using a high-level programming language under Windows NT. An in-depth knowledge of the detailed engine hardware is not required.
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.
