The Department of Veterans Affairs has contracted with Varian Medical Systems to purchase radiotherapy systems for its network of medical centers. Covered by the renewable VA contract are Varian’s Smartbeam IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) system and accessories, Clinac medical linear accelerators, Ximatron treatment simulators, and multileaf collimators. Varian products also include brachytherapy systems, imaging systems, and software for the planning, treatment, and management of patient information.
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.
