Vessel analysis programs underrate carotid disease
Semiautomated vessel analysis software tends to underestimate the degree of carotid stenosis, particularly at levels that require corrective action, according to a study presented at the 2006 RSNA meeting.
Semiautomated vessel analysis software tends to underestimate the degree of carotid stenosis, particularly at levels that require corrective action, according to a study presented at the 2006 RSNA meeting.
Dr. William Boonn and colleagues analyzed data from 12 patients undergoing carotid angiography using multislice CT and six commercially available vessel analysis systems. They found underestimation of stenosis greater than 70% that ranged from 12% to 50%. The estimates worsened as degree of stenosis increased. However, they also found these vessel analysis systems provide improved visualization and other benefits. Study results suggest that vendors must improve the consistency and accuracy of automated stenosis measurements, Boonn said.
Boonn, an imaging informatics fellow at VA Maryland Health Care System when the study was conducted, currently works at the University of Pennsylvania.
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.
