Featuring automated one-click functionality for capturing prostate volume, the AI-enabled software may help shorten workflows for prostate imaging, biopsies, and ultrasound-guided procedures.
An emerging artificial intelligence software may enable clinicians to quickly obtain automated measurements of prostate volume.
With the launch of Prostate Volume Assist, clinicians can ascertain prostate measurements and calculations with one click, according to GE HealthCare, the manufacturer of the software. The company said the Prostate Volume Assist can be beneficial with prostate imaging and ultrasound-guided procedures.
“Normally, clinicians determine prostate volume through a manual, repetitive process that requires measuring multiple dimensions and applying a mathematical formula,” said Fredrik Gran, head of innovation, surgical visualization and guidance, ultrasound at GE HealthCare. “Prostate Volume Assist uses artificial intelligence to automate this process with a single click, and yield results in less than two seconds. This technology provides an added level of support for (clinicians) to improve efficiencies in the workflow and enable precision care.”
GE HealthCare noted that Prostate Volume Assist will be accessible via the company’s bkActiv, bk3000/5000 and bkSpecto ultrasound modalities.
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.

Mammography Study Suggests DBT-Based AI May Help Reduce Disparities with Breast Cancer Screening
December 13th 2024New research suggests that AI-powered assessment of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for short-term breast cancer risk may help address racial disparities with detection and shortcomings of traditional mammography in women with dense breasts.
Can AI Facilitate Single-Phase CT Acquisition for COPD Diagnosis and Staging?
December 12th 2024The authors of a new study found that deep learning assessment of single-phase CT scans provides comparable within-one stage accuracies to multiphase CT for detecting and staging chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
