The Mid Atlantic Group Network (MAGNET) has renewed its agreement with Varian Medical Systems to provide its members with preferred pricing for advanced radiotherapy systems. The contract includes Varian's SmartBeam IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy), a precise form of radiation therapy. Also included are the company's Clinac EX Platinum linear accelerator and Acuity treatment simulators, multileaf collimators and other accessories for radiation therapy, as well as software for planning treatment and managing patient information, brachytherapy systems, and medical imaging systems.
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.
