Alioscopy migrates movie magic to medicine
For CEO Philippe Roche, Alioscopy's appearance at RSNA 2008 represented a formal coming-out exercise designed to test the industry's reception of the firm's 3D products. The company hopes that its autostereoscopy technology -- which produces depth perception on flat 2D monitors -- will create a new standard for 3D imaging.

Mammo uptake among veterans on par with nonveterans
Female veterans are as likely to undergo screening mammography as nonveteran women.
Patient examples of SPECT/CT and PET/CT RECIP 1.0. (A) SPECT and PET maximum-intensity projection (MIP) images in 74-year-old man with mCRPC. Serum PSA level at baseline was 449 ng/mL and slightly increased to 525 ng/mL after two cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score was 2 at baseline and increased to 3 after 2 cycles. The patient was classified by readers as RECIP-progressive disease on both SPECT and PET. Overall survival was 4.7 months. Two cycles of Lu-177 PSMA were administered. (B) SPECT and PET MIP images in 74-year-old man with mCRPC. Serum PSA level was 231 ng/mL at baseline and decreased to 12.5 ng/mL after 2 cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. ECOG score was less than 2 at baseline and after 2 cycles of Lu-177 PSMA. The patient was classified by readers as RECIP-partial response on both SPECT and PET. Overall survival was 14.3 months. Four cycles of Lu-177 PSMA were administered.

(A–C) Top: High-field-strength (3-T) and low-field-strength (64-mT) images and LowGAN outputs for a single participant across (A) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), (B) T1-weighted (T1w), and (C) T2-weighted (T2w) contrasts. Bottom: Graphs demonstrate the structural similarity index (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), normalized cross-correlation (NCC), and feature similarity index (FSIM) between high field strength and low field strength (64-mT) and high field strength and LowGAN outputs. a.u. = arbitrary units.****p ≤ 0.0001.
