The latest version of Siemens' biograph is running at Hong Kong Baptist Hospital. The system features an advanced detector made from lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO), a scintillator whose high-speed properties allow shorter scan times and faster patient throughput. PET and CT data can be acquired in 20 minutes or less on the LSO product, according to the company. The biograph is also available with detectors using a BGO (bismuth germanate) crystal. The first commercial installation of the BGO system was completed last fall at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan.
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.
