A new film cassette for medical imaging can reduce patient radiation exposure, while its lighter weight means reduced technologist fatigue.
Eastman Kodak has reengineered its X-Omat cassette with panels of a patented composite material that allows for significant weight reduction as well as a decrease in x-ray absorption.
The 35 x 43-cm cassette has been reduced from 5.5 pounds to 4.1 pounds. The decrease in x-ray absorption is achieved with a low-absorption front panel that reduces patients exposure to x-rays by 5% to 20%, according to Kodak, depending on the type of exam being performed.
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.
