New CT, MR scanners and AI top GE HealthCare highlights at RSNA 2023
CHICAGO -- GE HealthCare (GEHC) brought new CT and MRI scanners and a range of AI software applications to McCormick Place for RSNA 2023. CT In CT, GEHC shined the spotlight on its Revolution Ascend scanner, which was first introduced at ECR in March. With onsite detector upgrades, Ascend can be upgraded from a 20-mm coverage system for routine scanning to a 40-mm coverage system that delivers better low-contrast detectability, according to the vendor. The scanner also comes with True Enhance DL, an AI-based application that generates deep learning-based monochromatic-like images from a single-energy x-ray acquisition....

Road to RSNA 2023: AI Preview
Welcome to the first installment of this year’s Road to RSNA preview of the RSNA 2023 meeting. We’re once again providing a modality-by-modality overview of select scientific presentations to serve as your guide to events at McCormick Place.
Our journey along the Road to RSNA begins again with our preview of AI, a topic that has dominated the annual meeting for the past seven years. Research on AI topics will be omnipresent, featuring both in dedicated sessions as well as throughout the scientific program. In fact, it’s hard to find a scientific session without at least one AI-related presentation.
AI’s capabilit...

AHA releases statement on imaging in cancer patients
The American Heart Association (AHA) has issued a statement to provide guidance on the use of cardiac imaging in cancer patients undergoing therapy, which it published recently in Circulation. The AHA’s statement addresses the use of echocardiography and cardiovascular MRI, CT, SPECT, and PET imaging and aims to provide consensus on their appropriate use in clinical cardio-oncology, the association said in its release.Echocardiography should be the first-line imaging modality used for assessing cardiac function in patients receiving treatment that can lead to cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction, according to the A...

PET/CT radiomics may improve diagnosis of VCFs
In this study, the researchers aimed to combine FDG-PET/CT features and CT features in a radiomics model that could help clinicians make treatment decisions in these cases.The researchers analyzed imaging from 439 patients diagnosed with vertebral compression fractures after PET/CT scans at their hospital from January 2016 to January 2023. They extracted 26 features from the imaging: nine PET features and 17 CT features, as well as eight clinical variables, such as age, maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) of FDG radiotracer, osteolytic destruction, and fracture line, for instance.Using these, the group constructed a com...
