Ultrasound vendors ATL andInterspec have begun to reap benefits from their just-finalizedmerger. ATL's HDI CV cardiology ultrasound system was displayedat the Interspec booth at the American Society of Echocardiographyconference in San Francisco last month. The cardiology versionof Bothell, WA-based ATL's HDI platform was introduced in Europea year ago (SCAN 2/16/94).
HDI CV will now be handled by Interspec's cardiology-focusedsales force, allowing ATL's U.S. sales group to concentrate onradiology. In turn, Interspec's new Apogee RX400 radiology systemwill become a mid-tier offering in ATL's radiology line, positionedbeneath the premium Ultramark 9 HDI.
HDI CV was shown at the ASE meeting with two new probes. However,the enlarged ATL company has not yet combined Interspec technologywith its own. An Interspec-designed multifrequency pediatric transducerfor the HDI cardiac scanner should be coming soon.
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.
