Sunday Sandrick Mammography Kodak
A mammography upgrade to Kodak’s DirectView CR system, shown Sunday at the RSNA meeting, promises to allow hospitals and imaging centers to move toward digital breast imaging on existing computed radiography platforms from Kodak.
A mammography upgrade to Kodak's DirectView CR system, shown Sunday at the RSNA meeting, promises to allow hospitals and imaging centers to move toward digital breast imaging on existing computed radiography platforms from Kodak.
When approved for mammography by the FDA, DirectView CR systems will be used in a dedicated mammography setting or in general radiography suites without changing CR procedures, workflow, or the user interface.
The DirectView CR Mammography feature has been installed in more than 200 settings outside the US and Canada. It is undergoing clinical trials as part of the pre-market submission process with the FDA. Just days before the RSNA meeting, Kodak announced the first submission in a series of modules to the FDA regarding this technology.
The DirectView CR Mammography option offers enhanced image quality by utilizing a 50-micron pixel pitch. Its EHR-M screen provides the highest detector quantum efficiency (DQE) of any Kodak DirectView CR Screen, and the exposure latitude of CR and post-acquisition image processing achieves more consistent image quality than conventional imaging, according to the company. Enhanced visualization image processing (EVP) and black surround/masking software provides increased latitude and high-contrast image detail.
Also being shown at the RSNA meeting is a works-in-progress point-of-care CR 300M system for mammography. The system is small enough for use on a tabletop.
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.
