American Superconductor has been awarded a two-year, $750,000 grant by the National Institutes of Health for the development of second-generation high-temperature superconductor wire. HTS wire is used in MR scanners, as well as laboratory NMR spectroscopy devices. The immediate goal of the project is to create HTS wire that will boost electromagnets in NMR devices to 25T or higher. (The highest magnetic field available in leading-edge commercial NMR machines is 21.1T.) Such wire would also have advantages in MR scanners.
AI Mammography Platform Shows Promising Results for Detecting Subclinical Breast Cancer
October 3rd 2024Mean artificial intelligence (AI) scoring for breasts developing cancer was double that of contralateral breasts at initial biennial screening and was 16 times higher at the third biennial screening, according to a study involving over 116,000 women with no prior history of breast cancer.
CT Study Links Pleural Effusion and Higher 30-Day Mortality Rates in Patients with COVID-19
October 1st 2024In a multicenter study of over 1,100 patients with COVID-19, pleural effusion was detected on CT scans in nearly a third of patients, who also had significantly higher ICU admission and 30-day mortality rates.
