The adoption of digital imaging in healthcare is rising within integrated delivery networks (IDNs) and hospitals, according to a study released Sept. 26 by Atlanta-based Zesearch. While 68% of IDNs and independent hospitals indicated they have replaced at least a portion of their film or paper-based printing with a digital solution, they subsequently indicated a much less substantial percentage of their imaging is actually performed electronically, without the need for film or paper-based copies. The report, entitled “A Glimpse Into Digital Imaging in Healthcare,” details current and expected adoption rates, healthcare imaging by segment, enablers and barriers to trial and adoption, buying criteria, and imaging/PACS vendor and printer manufacturer recognition relative to digital imaging.
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.
