A standardized robotic SEEG protocol using the Neuromate system implanted 952 electrodes in 68 patients, achieving a mean registration error of 1.7 mm and 14.1 min per electrode implant time. Only one symptomatic hemorrhage occurred (1.47%), and it was during electrode removal,…
A novel state space model integrating clinical text prompts with imaging outperformed leading multimodal segmentation networks, achieving state-of-the-art Dice scores across three public benchmarks (QaTa-COVID19, MosMedData+, MoNuSeg) with lower computational cost (GFLOPs).
MSCNet, a deep learning network for coronary artery segmentation on CTA, achieved a Dice score of 81.24%—outperforming prior models by 3.5–3.9 percentage points—in a retrospective evaluation on the ImageCAS dataset.
Adding automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) to mammography in women with dense breasts increased cancer detection by 2.3 per 1000 screens (95% CI 1.5-3.5) but substantially increased the recall rate to 14.2%, compared to 8.8% for mammography alone, in a Korean screening cohort.
In response to a commentary, authors argue that automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for dense-breast screening offers value beyond supplemental cancer detection, including bilateral comparison capability and time-efficient batch interpretation, though the primary evidence remains…
FDA grants 510(k) clearance to Apryse Software Corp for MiPACS V5 (1.0.0), a radiology image processing system (product code LLZ).
FDA 510(k) clearance granted to Siemens Healthineers' syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit, a software tool designed to aid interpretation of coronary CT angiography.
In a retrospective cohort, transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy yielded a 55.4% cancer detection rate vs 27.4% for transrectal (TR) in men with elevated PSA and PI-RADS 3-4 lesions (P=0.001), with no increase in adverse events. Findings require prospective validation.
A retrospective decision tree model using clinical/imaging features predicted operative vs. conservative management in ovarian torsion with AUC 0.76, sensitivity 75%, specificity 73% (n=219). Key predictors: Doppler, BMI, pelvic mass. Needs prospective validation.
In a dual-center retrospective study of 118 breast cancer patients, a patch-level AlexNet model achieved macro-AUC 0.971 for three-class HER2 IHC score prediction, with most errors between adjacent grades.
