Preview: MR seeks new high ground
MR vendors will show advanced technologies in traditional-and nontraditional-realms at the RSNA meeting.
MR vendors will show advanced technologies in traditional-and nontraditional-realms at the RSNA meeting.
Celebrating the installation of its 1000th MR system, Toshiba will showcase its Vantage Atlas MR for general radiology, including both cardiac and neuro imaging. The company will also show a 3T work-in-progress.
GE will focus on patient comfort, enhanced clinical utility, and workflow improvements. Its wide-bore 1.5T Optima MR450w will be featured with Continuum Pak 22.0, the latest clinical applications package, designed to enhance utility. GE will also highlight the 1.5T extremity MR system, which is easy to site and comfortable for patients.
MR-Touch will reappear as a commercially available product based on MR elastography. GE showed it for the first time last year. Using low-frequency mechanical waves generated in the body through an external acoustic driver, the product demonstrates the elastic properties of tissue as a potential discriminator of pathology.
Philips will showcase a work-in-progress that represents the “next generation” in MR imaging for the firm, according to a company representative. No more details on this new technology will be made public until the RSNA conference opens.
The company will also configure its Panorama HFO (high-field open) scanner for oncology, enabling MR scanning of patients in a treatment position, as well as the taking of MR-guided biopsies and insertion of radioactive seeds for brachytherapy.
AI Facilitates Nearly 83 Percent Improvement in Turnaround Time for Fracture X-Rays
December 19th 2023In addition to offering a 98.5 percent sensitivity rate in diagnosing fractures on X-ray, an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) software reportedly helped reduce mean turnaround time on X-ray fracture diagnosis from 48 hours to 8.3 hours, according to new research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
The Reading Room: Artificial Intelligence: What RSNA 2020 Offered, and What 2021 Could Bring
December 5th 2020Nina Kottler, M.D., chief medical officer of AI at Radiology Partners, discusses, during RSNA 2020, what new developments the annual meeting provided about these technologies, sessions to access, and what to expect in the coming year.
Can an Emerging PET Radiotracer Enhance Detection of Prostate Cancer Recurrence?
December 14th 2023The use of 68Ga-RM2 PET/MRI demonstrated a 35 percent higher sensitivity rate than MRI alone for the diagnosis of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, according to research recently presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
RSNA 2020: Addressing Healthcare Disparities and Access to Care
December 4th 2020Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.
Can AI Improve Detection of Extraprostatic Extension on MRI?
December 4th 2023Utilizing a deep learning-based AI algorithm to differentiate between diagnostic and non-diagnostic quality of prostate MRI facilitated a 10 percent higher specificity rate for diagnosing extraprostatic extension on multiparametric MRI, according to research presented at the recent RSNA conference.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
