Philips launched a new CT simulation workstation at the 2003 annual meeting of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine held Aug. 10 to 14 in San Diego. The AcQSim3 combines simulation features of the AcQSim workstation with Philips' radiation therapy planning (RTP) system Pinnacle3, creating a single shared platform and integrated workflow. Integration of the CT simulation workstation and RTP enables access to shared patient data from other Philips oncology workstations. The new AcQSim3 connects seamlessly to the company's image fusion application, Syntegra, and intensity-modulated radiation therapy application, P3IMRT. It is compatible with Philips' multimodality imaging systems, including the AcQSim CT, Gemini PET/CT, and Panorama MRI, as well as with other vendors' DICOM-compliant imaging systems. AcQSim3 can also communicate with other vendors' RTP systems via standard DICOM and DICOM-RT transfer protocols.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
Can Ultrasound-Based Radiomics Enhance Differentiation of HER2 Breast Cancer?
March 11th 2025Multicenter research revealed that a combined model of clinical factors and ultrasound-based radiomics exhibited greater than a 23 percent higher per patient-level accuracy rate for identifying HER2 breast cancer than a clinical model.
