Varex Imaging Corporation (Salt Lake City, UT, USA) is showcasing its advances in X-ray technology at the 2022 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago, USA.

At RSNA 2022, Varex’s photon counting experts are presenting the science, the benefits and how its photon counting X-ray detectors are making the invisible visible. Varex photon counting detectors are flexible and can be optimized to the application’s needs: They can scan an entire 2 m human body in 8 seconds, count 109 photons / mm2/ s or read out at up to 5,000 frames per second over an active area of 20×5 cm2 and at 100 micron pixel pitch. In addition, Varex is also demonstrating how radiology departments can reduce dependency on scarce helium, without compromising on MR productivity and diagnostic confidence by adopting sustainable MR operations.

Varex is also presenting its AZURE flat panel detector that delivers industry-leading technology, expertly engineered to deliver smoother motion and faster integration with high speed and low noise for real-time image applications. Also on display at RSNA 2022 was the LUMEN 4336W lightweight, flat panel detector from Varex with features to simplify integration, such as a single detector for both wireless and tethered use, wireless charging and accessories that are common across the entire LUMEN series. Reliable and robust, LUMEN 4336W is also designed to better withstand external shocks.

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
