The red-hot MRI market got a boost from the U.S. military last month after the Department of Defense's purchasing agency issued an award to six vendors for the acquisition of MRI equipment over the next year. The Defense Support Center Philadelphia named GE, Picker, Siemens, Philips, Toshiba, and Lunar as the companies that are eligible to compete for contracts each time an order comes in to the DSCP for an MRI system or accessory. The DOD estimates that it will spend about $40 million on MRI technology over the next year, an amount that will be split among the six companies. The award comes with an option to extend the contract over the next four years, according to a DSCP spokesperson.
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.
