A radiographic add-on to linear accelerators used in radiation oncology debuted today at the ASTRO meeting.
A radiographic add-on to linear accelerators used in radiation oncology debuted today at the ASTRO meeting. The Theraview KV Imaging IGRT (image-guided radiation therapy) system can be mounted to any brand of accelerator, according to its distributor, Acceletronics, providing an x-ray image of the patient that can be compared to the reference image taken during treatment planning. TheraView Target Check software, built into the electronic portal device, includes automated treatment beam shape verification and patient position verification. Theraview KV Imaging IGRT is manufactured in the U.S. by Theraview Technology.
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.
