Voxar launches calcium scoring package
An advanced calcium scoring application developed by the Scottish firm Voxar has cleared the FDA. Voxar Calscreen 2.1 is designed to detect, quantify, and report the presence of calcium plaque in the coronary arteries. It complements the company's
An advanced calcium scoring application developed by the Scottish firm Voxar has cleared the FDA. Voxar Calscreen 2.1 is designed to detect, quantify, and report the presence of calcium plaque in the coronary arteries. It complements the company's flagship Plug n View 3D and Voxar Colonscreen products. The package automates the identification of calcified plaques in the coronary arteries and calculates the calcium score, providing the basis for assessing potential risk and managing associated coronary heart disease before symptoms arise. Calscreen 2.1 works with electron-beam tomography scanners and multislice or helical CTs. The package, which runs on a standard PC, automatically highlights calcified regions in red as part of multiplanar reformatted (MPR) and 3D views of the heart.
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.
