ADAC, Eastern Isotopes form alliance
ADAC Laboratories has forged an exclusive vendor agreement with PET radiopharmaceutical manufacturer Eastern Isotopes. The partnership gives ADAC access to 5.5 millicurie doses of FDG, which it will buy at a discount from Eastern Isotopes, and allows it
ADAC Laboratories has forged an exclusive vendor agreement with PET radiopharmaceutical manufacturer Eastern Isotopes. The partnership gives ADAC access to 5.5 millicurie doses of FDG, which it will buy at a discount from Eastern Isotopes, and allows it to supply its molecular coincidence detection/attenuation correction (MCD/AC) and CPET customers. ADACs FDG imaging products do not require 10 millicurie doses of the radioisotope, as competitive products do, according to the Milpitas, CA, company.
Based in Sterling, VA, Eastern Isotopes was established in 1995 as a distributor of SPECT pharmaceuticals. Last year, the firm began to produce high-energy tracers, particularly FDG, for therapy, oncology, cardiology, and neurology.
With the deal, ADAC continues its push into the PET market, capitalizing on the momentum created by its September purchase of partner UGM Medical, a developer and manufacturer of PET devices (SCAN 9/29/99). The two firms codeveloped ADACs MCD high-energy imaging option for gamma cameras (SCAN 12/14/94).
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
