Three-dimensional visualization developer Vital Images this month formally released VScore, a new coronary artery calcium scoring software package. Vital Images received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for VScore in June (SCAN 6/23/99). The product is the Minneapolis companys first add-on option for its Vitrea 1.2 workstation, launched in 1996 (SCAN 10/23/96).
VScore allows users to quantify calcium in the four major coronary arteries with CT image data, and can be used with electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) scanners sold by Imatron of South San Francisco, CA. The package can also be used with data collected from conventional helical CT scanner data and multislice units.
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.
