Regulatory clearances obtained in late September will enable Sumitomo Metal Industries, the exclusive sales agent for ADACLaboratories in Japan, to begin selling several dual-head gammacameras designated for export to Japan by the Milpitas, CA, company.
Regulatory clearances obtained in late September will enable Sumitomo Metal Industries, the exclusive sales agent for ADACLaboratories in Japan, to begin selling several dual-head gammacameras designated for export to Japan by the Milpitas, CA, company.
The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare approved applicationsfor ADAC's Vertex Plus, Solus, and Cardio nuclear imaging systems.The ministry also cleared Molecular Coincidence Detection, ADAC'shigh-energy imaging technique.
Vertex Plus is ADAC's premium variable-angle camera, Solusis a fixed 180° dual-head optimized for oncology, and Cardiois a fixed 90° dual-head system devoted to cardiology.
The approval of MCD was the first of its kind for a high-energyimaging system in Japan, according to ADAC officials. ADAC's optionalMCD feature enables Vertex and Solus gamma cameras to performcoincidence-based fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging with a SPECTcamera.
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.
