Air Products and Chemicals, a vendor of liquid helium and nitrogen for superconducting MRI systems, has strengthened its supply relationships with GE and Siemens. Both deals were announced in November.
The Lehigh, PA, company secured a three-year extension of its long-term cryogen services pact with GE. The extension calls for Air Products to continue to supply cryogens for systems under warranty or service contract with GE through 2004. Air Products serves over 2000 GE MR customers in the U.S. and internationally.
Air Products and Siemens also rewrote their agreement to supply more Siemens MR customers in the U.S. The contract was previously limited to selected U.S. sites. The company is Siemens' global supplier of cryogenic gases and filling services for MR systems in Europe, Asia, and South America.

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.
