GE Medical Systems has agreed to distribute a preclinical optical molecular imaging system made by Advanced Research Technologies. The deal grants GE exclusive worldwide rights to distribute the system, called SAMITM, which is designed for use in the R&D of therapeutic and diagnostic drugs. The system is an optical fluorescence molecular imaging device designed to help pharmaceutical companies and research laboratories better understand disease and shorten the development cycle for new drugs. The technology is based on ART's proprietary time domain optical imaging technology, which noninvasively images tissue to reveal the biological distribution and concentration of fluorescence-labeled markers. GE holds an equity stake in the firm and is advising staff there on the development of clinical products based on the optical technology (SCAN 11/6/02).
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.
