Revisiting deconstructed PACS: Part 2
In 2014, AuntMinnie.com published an article by PACS executive Brad Levin that described a new concept he called "deconstructed PACS," in which PACS components are purchased on a modular basis rather than as part of an all-in-one solution from a single vendor. Four years later, Mr. Levin looks at how far the concept has come in this two-part series.

The time is now for deconstructed PACS
Is it time to rethink our perception of PACS? In this article, imaging informatics executive Brad Levin discusses how traditional PACS seems to have outlived its usefulness, and it should be replaced by a notion of deconstructed PACS in which technologies once seen as components now offer key functionality to radiologists.

Ultrafast MRI exam bests standard MRI for classifying breast cancers
By Amerigo Allegretto
An ultrafast MRI-based radiomics exam performs just as well as standard MRI and isn’t dependent on radiologist experience.
January 28, 2025
Ultrafast and standard MRI in a 30-year-old woman with triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Ultrafast MRI taken 16.8 seconds after contrast agent injection. (B) Standard MRI taken 58.8 seconds after contrast agent injection. Both images show an oval-shaped, irregular marginated, rim-enhancing mass in the left outer breast. For 3D tumor segmentation, the entire enhanced tumor margins were drawn from top to bottom of each tumor in axial views of U2 phase postcontrast ultrafast MRI and the initial phase postcontrast standard MRI. Among the 14 ultrafast images, U1 is the first phase in which the signal intensity of the hotspot region of interest of the tumor is 10% higher than the average signal intensity of unenhanced images. U2 is the immediate next phase of U1 and the well-established tumor enhancement time.
