Biplane flat-panel system debuts
Siemens Medical Solutions introduced the Axiom Artis dBC, a biplane cardiac and angiography system at the Pediatric Interventional Cardiac Symposium in Orlando, Sept. 22 to 24. The Artis dBC is equipped with a digital flat-panel detector in each of two
Siemens Medical Solutions introduced the Axiom Artis dBC, a biplane cardiac and angiography system at the Pediatric Interventional Cardiac Symposium in Orlando, Sept. 22 to 24. The Artis dBC is equipped with a digital flat-panel detector in each of two planes. The 25-cm diagonal detectors promise improved image clarity and fewer artifacts, according to the company. They will work in concert with features designed to enhance image quality, provide quantitative measures, or reduce x-ray dose.
Dynamic Density Optimization enables viewing of fine vascular structures distributed over dense areas equally as well as those in less dense areas. Sensis calculates hemodynamic and electrophysiologic data obtained during catheterization. CARE (combined application to reduce exposure) uses copper prefiltration to automatically adjust the filter strength during the exam to the density of the region of interest. The Artis dBC also includes features designed to optimize workflow, such as touchscreen operation and preprogrammed exam positions.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
