Analogic of Peabody, MA, has struck a multiyear, multimillion dollar agreement to develop and provide advanced engineering and manufacturing services to Philips Medical Systems. The agreement calls for Analogic to develop new subassemblies/components for Philips, while continuing to supply data acquisition systems, spare parts, and engineering services for the CT systems previously provided by Analogic and sold by Philips. Analogic will also continue supplying a range of patient monitoring equipment to Philips. Until Philips' acquisition of Marconi Medical last year, Analogic had been the Dutch company's sole supplier of midrange CT systems. After the Marconi purchase, however, Philips and Analogic decided to restructure the existing CT contract and develop a new agreement.
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.
