Viewing devices make mammography easier on the eyes
Two 5-megapixel liquid crystal monitors were released today at the RSNA meeting. The Lumimed monitors, shown by Broadwest as prototypes at the 2004 meeting, can be set to display images of individual breasts, as well as mediolateral and craniocaudal views. The monitors are ready for production, pending approval by the FDA.
Two 5-megapixel liquid crystal monitors were released today at the RSNA meeting. The Lumimed monitors, shown by Broadwest as prototypes at the 2004 meeting, can be set to display images of individual breasts, as well as mediolateral and craniocaudal views. The monitors are ready for production, pending approval by the FDA.
The two new devices have higher luminance than standard mammography viewing stations and a maximized viewing surface area, according to Jack Donovan, president of Broadwest.
Additionally, an ergonomic table for positioning the monitors will be available commercially in the first quarter of 2006. The table can be lowered, raised, and tilted so radiologists can adjust viewing whether they are in a seated or standing position. The table also incorporates features intended to reduce cabling tangles.
"The table has many accessories to minimize cabling and make mammography viewing comfortable for radiologists," Donovan said.
The 5-megapixel monitor pair and the ergonomic table will be sold separately.
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.
