Pushing the Limits of Accuracy in MRI – A Perspective by John Kirsch, PhD (The MGH/HST Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Charlestown, MA, USA). To have an appreciation for what it means to achieve better than 1 mm spatial accuracy or to produce an image with 100 micron resolution, you also have to have a realistic appreciation for what can go wrong. In his article Dr John Kirsch highlights that - when it comes to the magnetic fields - there are many things that can occur to cause these fields to distort. However, the #MRI scanner is no longer just a diagnostic device that produces images, but in the age of precision medicine it is a quantitative measurement system of biomarkers. MRI is now expected to be perfect in every way. Revisit this insightful article for a brief look at just how perfect, or not-so-perfect, it is: https://lnkd.in/ew9R3N5x  #magnetomworld Siemens Healthineers

Here are the details of this: The portable, rapid and noninvasive imaging and detection device uses eddy current damping sensors that can detect brain hemorrhages associated with stroke and TBI. This could result in diagnosing, classifying and pinpointing the location of a hemorrhagic stroke or TBI in minutes, rather than hours. As a result, first responders and medical providers could make time-sensitive medical and surgical decisions sooner, which would improve treatment and recovery in these patients. The grant will allow the team to further refine the device, test its ability to detect the depth and breadth of brain hemorrhage in patients, and develop algorithms to quickly and accurately classify brain lesions, as compared to CT and MRI scans.

📃Scientific paper: The determination of the optimal threshold on measurement of thyroid volume using quantitative SPECT/CT for Graves' hyperthyroidism Abstract: Purpose To investigate the optimal threshold for measuring thyroid volume in patients with Grave's hyperthyroidism (GH) by SPECT/CT. Materials and methods A 53 mL butterfly-shaped hollow container made of two 45-degree transparent elbows was put into a NEMA IEC phantom tank. The butterfly-shaped container and the tank were then filled with Na^99mTcO4 of different radioactive concentrations, respectively, which could simulate thyroid gland with GH by different target-to-background ratios (T/B) (200:1, 600:1, 1000:1). The different T/B of planar imaging and SPECT/CT were acquired by a Discovery NM/CT 670 Pro SPECT/CT. With Thyroid software (Version 4.0) of GE-Xeleris workstation, the region of the thyroid gland in planar imaging was delineated. The thyroid area and average long diameter of both lobes were substituted into the Allen formula to calculate the thyroid volume. The calculation error was compared with the actual volume. Q-Metrix software was used to perform CT-based attenuation correction, scatter correction, resolution recovery. Ordered-subsets expectation maximization was used to reconstruct SPECT data. 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% thresholds were selected to automatically delineate the volume of interest and compared with the real volume, which determinated the optimal threshold. We measured the thyroid volume of 40 GH patients using the threshold and compared the volumes obtained by planar imaging and ultrasound three-dimensional. The differences of t...

A workshop to imagine the future of #CTscan Last week, more than 20 medical equipment suppliers and representatives from major hospitals, together with imaging technology experts met at CERN, to discuss the latest developments in spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT). Within clinical radiology, spectral x-ray imaging has now entered routine clinical practice. This improvement in patient care has arisen from the development of photon counting. By measuring individual x-ray photons, higher spatial resolution, lower x-ray dose, and multi-energy imaging can be achieved. The workshop announced the latest results of the Medipix4 chip. The most recent offspring of the #Medipix4collaboration, hosted at CERN, targets X-ray spectroscopic imaging at rates compatible with medical CT scans. Held every two years at CERN, the Workshop on Medical Applications of Spectroscopic X-ray Detectors is a unique forum for exchanging clinical results, technical reports and industry information. This community moment is a great way to guide the development of an ever-important technology. Click below to watch Anthony Butler, from MARS Bioimaging Ltd and the University of Otago, guide you through the key outcomes of the workshop. https://lnkd.in/dATXPCMm #MedTech #MedicalImaging #Detector #Healthcare

A very interesting event took place at CERN - on the applications of spectral (color) X-ray sensors in medicine. Prof Anthony Butler gave an excellent detailed overview lecture on the papers at this conference. Main: All major manufacturers are developing spectral CT and the first samples have already been presented on the market. At the same time, there are practically no attempts to create other types of spectral X-ray devices (mammography, flat panel X-ray machine, etc.). It’s strange, because making such devices is much easier than a good CT, even with very modest resources. This may be due to fundamental limitations of existing detectors. But even more surprising was the conclusion made by Anthony Butler - that a “killer application” has not yet been found in medical diagnostics for spectral X-ray systems. Even in his lecture, two areas were mentioned where spectral (color) x-rays fundamentally change diagnostic capabilities and can radically change the situation with patient survival. The entire experience of demonstrating to doctors our first very simple prototype of a spectral X-ray unit evokes only one reaction - “I know why I need this. I want to get it immediately, even in this form.” hashtag #True_color_Xray
